Answers:
Any person!. fat, thin, fit, vegan, vegetarian omnivore etc has the right to question anything!. Among friends friendly banter about this and that is normal!. However!.there is a disticnt difference between asking a queston or friendly teasing and harassment!. If it reaches the point where his questions are starting to make you uncomfortble, then it is harassment and should stop!.

And being a vegan does not make you somehow grow a halo and be immune to questions or criticism!. As is often answered by many, a vegan diet does not guarantee anyone good health

Veganism is a lifestyle choice based on certain principles!.It does not guarantee anything other than the practitioner does not eat meat or any animal by-products nor do they indulge in material possessions or activities that may be construed as exploitation of animals!. Even within the vegan community itself however, there are arguments in the interpretation of what is "vegan" and what isn't!.

It isn't your fault not to want the way he eats and it isn't his fault not to want the way you eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fat people have the same rights as everyone else, including the right to an opinion!.

You say you're new to veganism; you may not yet realise that there are vegans of all shapes and sizes, from too skinny to morbidly obese, just as there are vegetarians and meat-eaters of all shapes and sizes!.

Nobody should criticise another's diet in this way, but your friend's size is irrelevant here!. You are displaying the same level of prejudice and ignorance as he is!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i am not a vegan but i do think its down to choice and i think
that vegans are quite in there own right to be healthy and like other people need to make sure you get the right vitamins and nutrients in your diet and your friend may be lacking of education and the understanding of vegetarians and there diet
and as you use the word fat would be better to use the words more
delicate as some people are large because of medical problems and medication so don't presume thy are large because of what thy eat ask your Friends to look this up and research it
thy may think twice to invade your eating habitsWww@FoodAQ@Com

A lot of meat eaters get defensive around vegans!. Sometimes they feel judged, sometimes they're just jealous!. If you're clearly healthier than him then he may well be jealous!. Just tell him that you choose to eat a healthy diet and if he chooses not to it's his business!. Agree that you won't lecture him about stopping up his colon and clogging his arteries if he doesn't lecture you about eating veggies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You seem very small minded and pessimistic!.

A vegetarian diet can be lethal to someone who does not know what to eat in order to get the right amount of vitamins and minerals!.
The size of a person does not justify their health level!. Have you ever watched the " Biggest Loser!?" There are 400 pound people on that show who could out run a 150 pound person!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think them being overweight has anything to do with them questioning you!. If they are your friend, then it's ok to give you their opinion!. If you don't do veggie/vegan right, yes it can be unhealthy!. Maybe you should just educate your friend on it instead of basically making fun of them for being overweight!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My former co-worker was HUGE!. He had all sorts of health problems that of course, according to him, had nothing to do with the food he ate or he enormous size!. But, sure, he has a right to question my vegan diet all he wants!. I'm thin, fit, athletic, healthy etc!., he can question away until he's blue in the face for all I care, and I'll question him right back!. It's fun!. And when people ask questions, that's an opportunity to educate them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Since when has anyone had the right to question what you eat!?
Since never!.

If he wants to play the immature eat a steak ect game next time
be like eat a donut, or twelve!.!. Or what ever!. Probably shut him up!.

Sounds like an idiot to me like so many others haha!. I know how
you feel!. Its frustrating but oh well sometimes fun to laugh at
people for been so dumb!. They're the ones ruining their bodies so
let them go ahead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i dont think anyone has the right to question what you eat, it is your own decision what your diet is!. Being vegetarian/vegan doesnt mean you cant have a balanced and nutritious diet, in fact it can be just as nutritious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't be to harsh!. I'm a fat vegetarian!. (I lack exercise) I really don't eat garbage!. Well, everyone's entitles to their opinion!. I'm sure he really isn't educated on the subject!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Everyone has the right to question vegan diets!. But people can be overweight and underweight on any either vegan or non-vegan diets, it all comes down to eating sensibly and some vegans admittedly are not smart enough about getting all they need out of it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ahahaha to 007#2!.

i hate it when fat people say its unhealthy that im a vegetarian!.!.!.its unhealthy that you're obese!!! ahaha

but even some regular sized people dont think its healthy to be a vegetarian!.!.!.that pisses me off tooWww@FoodAQ@Com

these diets are bad, if you don't research how to keep yourself healthy!.!.and people who don't care about what they eat!.!. don't really have have any right to question you along as your healthy whats they problem!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think he has the right to question you!. Heck, I don't think ANYONE has the right to question your choice of food, fat or not!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yep!.

He also has a right to point out that you apparently don't know how to form a sentence!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would say that they have just as much right as the next guy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
