Answers: Advertise yourself just like every one else does. Stickers on your car, T-shirts. Hell, get a tattoo of it... who cares.
If I were you, I would let people make their own decisions instead of trying to force yours onto them. What makes you think anyone is interested in what you have to say? Join PETA. just tell ppl how good it is 2 be a veggie(economic,helath,envirom... animal caree etc)_ It's cool to be a proud vegetarian, but if you go around preaching about it you'll quickly find yourself limited to vegetarian friends. Maybe you can confine yourself to a proud bumper sticker or two. Tell all you love for our animals that roamed the earth before we came along Be careful. You might fall off the wagon some day. Let people notice it. Have a great big salad tattooed on your forehead! Corn and cauliflower on your arms! Broccoli on your legs! And peas on your feet! i agree with R.D. NAPLES The best way to be an ambassador for vegetarianism is to set a good example. Eat well and show people how healthy it can be. Try not to preach about it because your message gets lost when people feel like you're judging them. You could always get a subtle t-shirt, like the ones that say "Herbivore" and let people initiate a discussion about it. Curious people given positive information in a non-preachy manner will hear what you're saying and, while they may not become veg*n themselves, at least it will get them thinking. The best thing you can do is keep it to yourself unless someone says "PLEEAASSEEEEE tell me about why you are veg, I want you to help me understand."
If you don't keep it to yourself unless asked or you need to make a special dietary request, you are just making the rest of us look bad and perpetuating the stereotype that we are preachy and have OCD.
Being proudof something does not mean that you should tell everyone that you meet or use it as a title. Be a normal person, make friends and when they find out that you are veg, they should be surprised and say "How did I not know for so long?" and not "yeah, no sh*t, I think everyone knows" A bit apprehensive, aren't you? Go and buy a costume --- Dress like a stalk of celery, or a carrot, or tomato or something like that.
Picket KFC, yell "murderers" when you see people eating meat, join PETA, ... You know the normal stuff people on the V&V forum do.
I an see you've got the makings of a GREAAAAAAAAAAAT, advocate/activist for the vegetarian stuff. I can just see you being the top banana in the veggie world and on the V&V forum.
Go get'um Tiger.
