Well!. Normally the people saying that are ones that eat lots of meat and couldn't go a day without it!.
But besides dieing is inevitable so generally people would rather continue living there lives as it is than make such a drastic change!.
Another example would be my uncle, hes a vegetarian, and no one really cares!. But when he gave up meat he pretty much became obsessed with eating right!. When ever i see him hes always reading books on foods and he can really only have a conversation with people about being a vegetarian!.
So i think people think all vegetarians are like that just because of the large change they had to make!. So they think when they did that there entire life changed and they became a new person!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your friends are ignorant!. You can be a vegetarian!. Just don't harass other people when they eat meat!.
@Other people: We were designed to consume meat and vegetables!. If you, for example, lock two lions in a cage, you give one lion a plate of vegetables and the other meat, the lion with the vegetables will refuse to eat and eventually die!. The lion with meat will happily consume the meat!. We are human!. We are animals!. Most animals eat meat!.
Still it IS ok to be a vegetarian!. Your friends just think its wierd and they should know better >!.>Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is a cultural thing!. Your friends were raised in a culture where eating meat is normal!. You made a change that is at odds with their culture!. Humans have an instinct to protect and preserve whatever culture they find themselves in!. We feel uncomfortable when someone is at odds with our culture!. This often comes out as bias, prejudice, and/or bigotry!. Your friends just don't perceive it as a cultural thing!.
If it was obvious that it was a cultural difference, they probably wouldn't have the same reaction!. If they met someone from India who was a vegetarian because of his culture or religion, your friends reaction might be more like "really!? well, I guess that's interesting!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

By definition of weird, that's exactly what vegetarianism is because it is one fo those things practiced by the very few!. (3 out of 100)!. Not that there is anything wrong with it!. But it is "unusual" hence "weird"!.
If you stay in this forum long enough, you will discover that the anti-(whatever diet here) is pretty prevalent, not just against vegetarians!. Prejudice, ignorance and just plain idiocy is not exclusive to any particular group!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You know the real problem between vegetarians and meat lovers is this:
"Vegetarians always point fingers at meat eaters saying they are bad for killing animals for food!.!.!."
IF you would ask meat eaters, they would not do as point fingers at vegetarians and tell them: "Can't you hear your veggies screaming as you munch them alive!?!!?!!?!"
Its just a matter of leave and let live! As for me I have no "grudges" against vegetarians, if fact I salute them for having great restraint and control over themselves!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I never had a thing against vegetarians and vegans until I met a vegan!. Maybe she doesn't speak for all of you, but she was an idiot who thought she knew everything and thought everyone else was horrible and on the brink of death because they didn't eat like her!. That's why I'm not a fan!. But carry on, I really don't care what you eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Because its human's natural instinct to be a meat eater!. Meat is the easiest way to get protein, so thats how anceint people did it!. People today still have that instinct to eat meat!. So people will think you're weird because you're different!. Besides, fake meat tastes terrible!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
there is nothing wrong with being a vegetarian!. i have been a vegetarian for 7 years and would never go back to eating meat!. i think that people have negative thought about vegetarians because they dont understand it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Because you're all a pain in the a55!. You don't even know us and already you're explaining why your a vegetarian!. Maybe no one cared in the first place until you brought it u!? perhaps you came across as smug!? should have just kept it to yourself in my viewWww@FoodAQ@Com
Most people behave this way because many vegetarians have a holier than thou attitude and can be worse the televangelists!. Eat what you want and don't try to convert those around you and you'll be just fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i don't think there is nothing wrong with you being a vegetarian!.

The first answer pretty much covers it :)
Either they're xenophobic, bored or farmers who don't want to have a cut in profits!.
Senior Potato - put a group of children out in the woods, they won't think "Oh, let's kill that rabbit, I'm hungry!!"
But the young of a carnivorous or omnivorous animal will kill for food!.
It is not natural human instinct to eat meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
