Okay!.!.!.!. I'll answer your question in a second!.!.!.!. I just have to deal with something else first!.!.!.!.
imakeulol!.!.!.!. What the hell is the matter with you!? The urge to eat meat is ingrained into the DNA of women!? I'm a female, and I am also a vegetarian!. There are a lot of female vegetarians!.!.!.!. so, how is meat essential for our survival!? How is meat essential for the survival of any human being!? No one needs to eat meat, gender disregarded!. You're just filled with bullshit!.
Anyway!.!.!.!. Meat eaters find it hard to believe that we vegetarians and vegans can go without meat, because they adore it so much!. They're mouths water at the thought of eating an antibiotic and pesticide laden corpse of a tortured animal!. I know this one guy, who actually BRAGS, that he has seen tons of slaughter videos, and STILL loves meat, and always will, and on his myspace, it says: "I'm an omnivore and damn proud of it!."
Some people are just close minded!. When something different comes along, they shun it, because there cannot possibly be anything in existence that could prove them to be wrong!. And that doesn't just apply to meat eaters, either!. It applies to a lot of people, eating habits disregarded!.
So, basically, we just have to endure their ridicule and ignorance!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think that is so wonderful that you have been a vegetarian all your life!. I wish my parents raised me that way!. I've been a vegetarian for 2 years but I'm thinking of moving on to veganism!. Screw those people, they clearly haven't been taught anything about meat products and the harm it does to animals!.
And yes, there is more people considering the vegetarian diet, and it's great!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's more common in the U!.S!. to eat meat!. In other countries, like India, it's more common to be a veggie!. For some, it's a religious thing!.

ignorance, primal instincts, not having bothered to try, a ingrained disbelief in a life style that doesn't include meatWww@FoodAQ@Com
Probably the same reason vegetarians are surprised when people say they do eat meat :) It's all point of view!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
From ignorance and the constant advertising by the meat and dairy industry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i think this is a rhetorical question!.
it's just a matter of beliefs and opinions, i guess it's because they are not used to people who don't eat meat and for some reason find it more strange than it really is!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Americans in particular have been raised to believe that milk is the only way to get enough calcium, meat is the only way to get adequate protein, etc!.!.!.
It's mostly ignorance!. People feel like their knowledge is greater than a vegetarians!. I think some vegetarians are unfair to the omnivores, though, too!. It all depends on whether you impose your views, and since there are more meat-eaters than vegetarians in the world, there will be more criticism from the meat-eating community than from the vegetarian one!.
I admit, I was raised on that all-too-common propaganda put out by the mat industry!. I thought that cows were in pain when they had too much milk in their udders, so drinking milk was a good thing to do!. I thought eggs were just unused byproducts of happy chickens on ideal, pretty little countryside farms!. I thought all meat animals were raised on happy farms and killed by a swift shot to the head!. Of course, I was wrong!.
When I turned 14 I woke up from my imagined utopia!. I started to respect vegans instead of asking them curiously, "what do you eat!?!?"!. I stopped eating meant, and eventually I cut out all animal products!.
So when a meat eater asks me, "Don't you miss all the steak!?", "How do you survive without milk!?", "Aren't you really anemic and unhealthy!?", and the various other common misconceptions, i smile and explain that I am healthy and not deprived of anything nutritionally!. I know that most of these curious people are just misinformed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
