Hey, I get the same lol =)
"I find animals' lives more important than my own personal enjoyment"
"Elephants, rhinos and buffaloes are the strongest animals - all vegetarians, so you don't wanna get on my bad side!!"
"I'd like to see you eat your dog!"
"Cuz cheese ROCKS!"
"Eating rotting flesh is just sick!"
If all else fails, "That's my own personal choice, do you want me to start questioning your religion!?"
Just wondering!.!.!.do you find that like everyone asks you whether you eat fish when you tell them you're veggie!? It drives me MAD!! VEGETARIANS DON'T EAT FISH!! Can't they get it into their heads!?!?!?
Haha hope i've helped!
If you ever need any more advice on being veggie just ask!
Best Answer!?

Actually for religious reasons is definitely why most of my friends are vegetarians
what i found out later is that meat can contain!.!.!.(oh i'm forgetting the name) a compound like purine that gets converted in the body to form gout (uric acid crystals in joints) I was told of this when I was working at a medical center so i'm sure it's some where out there in a lonely medical journal guarded by the meat eaters !.!.!.lol
OH yeah also being a vegetarian has also lead to longevity!.!.!.that's a good one look at loma linda a city known for being large on vegetarianism and also known for longevity it was shown on the news!.
What's your reason, your reason is your own whether it be for health reason or for love of animal reasons!.

This website I found has 21 Reasons for being a Vegitarian
http://www!.giveusahome!.co!.uk/articles/ve!.!.!.
Granted it is a difficult thing to explain, It mostly depends on why you are a Vegetarian!. My suggestion is to write down 10 Reasons (maybe Before reading the link ) for why you are a Vegetarian, not things like 'My body is not a Graveyard' but more indepth like 'A large majority of animals being rasied for slaughter have the worst living conditions on the planet and basicly live in a torturous Hell, I am against cruelty to animals thus!.!.!.' and so on and so fourth, Once you have 10 good solid reasons which tie your feelings with your reasons, people (I found) will be a lot more recpetive and get a better idea of where you stand point is with the whole thing!.
Hope this Helps :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

i get that all the time!.
dont be bothered by it, and whatever you do dont turn it into an argument!. because when you answer back and give them a good reply to why you are vegetarian, they only argue back!. then it spoils the atmosphere of the dinner and everyone gets a little sour about the whole discussion!.
so what i suggest is that, when someone says "so why on earth would you want to be a vegetarian!?!!!?", you just cooly say "well because it is my choice i dont want to eat dead animals anymore, you go ahead if you want but i appreciate not being questioned about it"
more than often they provoke you so you say something that can lead to them arguing back, what you want to do is just ignore that and try and close the topic like "look it doesnt bother me if you eat meat, so i hope you take the same attitude and not worry about what i eat" Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't you know why you're veg!?
Feel guilty
Want to be healthier
Gross
Animal Cruelty
Environment (takes more corn to feed a corn than to just eat it, inefficient)
Worried about bioaccumulation
Worried about animal diseases (foot and mouth, salmonella)
Pick what applies to you!. If you can't figure out why you're veg, then no one else can!. They probably want to know if you're veg for animal rights or for health, not really beyond that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You don't mean "you can't say why", you mean you don't know how to reply!. Not the same thing!. Just tell 'em you think that the whole slaughter business stinks, which is true!. If people saw how things are done there, they would ALL become vegetarians!. Or that it's your way to save the planet, since producing meat consumes hundreds of times more resources than growing vegetables!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Amongst our friends there are vegetarians and meat eaters!. Nobody ever talks about their respective diets, even when we each have a dinner party!. You must know some strange people, certainly can't be friends!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
maybe because eating meat is like really inhumane !? like srsly humans are basically meat !. i dont see how cows/lambs are different !.
but i like chicken and beef :3Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you show them the 'Meet Your Meat' video, I'm sure they'll have second thoughts on eating meat!. Or at least they'll see where you're coming from!.
Hi Dylan, a college lunch could include fruit of any kind, I always liked grapes!.!.!.when in season because they are packed full of nutrients, and have high water content!. All vegetables as well!. When I was at college I would eat whatever fruit was cheap!. I remember a friend eating raw broccoli!. Now I do as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
