A put somebody through the mill for vegetarian...?

What's the funniest/most irritating/original/silly thing race have told you when you told them you be vegetarian? Please share :)

Answers:
Oftentimes we can believe of the rude statements ("if god didn't want us to eat animals why are they made out of MEAT") or the in the dark statements (SOME vegetarians munch through fish), but I would like to embezzle a moment to share an amusing story.
:)

I went to my local book franchise to catch a soy caramel latte and had this conversation beside the lady down the counter:

ME - Can I have a soy, caramel latte please.
HER- (smiling) Hmmm, what's soy milk made out of anyway?
ME - It's made from soy beans
HER- Beans?
ME - (Trying my best to stumble through explaining the process of making soy milk)
HER- So, nearby is no soy cow?
ME - (laughing a bit) No, no cow.
HER- (laughing too) Well, I don't know, you could feed it ample soy beans...
*at this point her friend starts laughing at her and says it doesn't work that agency... At this point I am thinking that a soy cow would kindof defeat the purpouse of not drinking milk, but don't because this is adjectives pretty funny*
ME - Still laughing, but not too hard. "I come up with it would still be milk"
HER- Well, you never know, (in a tone of voice looking toward a hopeful future) it could be new innovations surrounded by farming!

END SCENE
:)

It be just really funny how it didn't even go off to her that someone could specifically not want milk from a animal. Although it is a bit disturbing when you think something like it, I enjoyed the conversation because she be very innocent roughly it. It is the first conversation I remember having near someone about veg*nism lacking them having preconceived opinion or weapons equipped to fire.

And it was without doubt original.
:)
It reminded me of when I be a kid and I thought there be a chocolate milk cow.
no one have said anything really , apart from are you really vegetarian
I resembling PETA too (People Eating Tasty Animals)
i couldnt be a vegetarian, of late the way i be brought up
They said 'That explains it then'! Couldn't get them to explain further...
"Don't plants feel".Dohnuts.
Or.."Arn't thos leather shoes..." Grrrr
as we are lacto-vegetarian for many years as we belong to Jain religion one of the oldest religion on loam to promote vegetarian,tons okwards question where on earth asked to me by some of my net friends whom i converted to lacto-vegetarian by solving their probables,by easy ways for more do stop by my web site at http://jainism.co.nr
It's the process my mum keeps asking me if I want some jelly, and I'm sort of thinking 'mum! that's short for gelatine!'.. I be surprised a few days ago though, she found some jelly that was veggy suitable, reasonably tasty too. Most of the jelly she tries to win me to eat isn't though, and I a moment ago wonder when the message is going to get through...
Don't verbs, it's fish.
on holiday last year i mentioned to a felow guest that my daughter sometimes found it difficult to find something to put away as she was a lacto-vegetarian, she eagerly informed me that it shouldn't be a problem contained by the hotel as there be always a chicken dish on the menu, thinking she have misheard i told her she couldn't eat that as she be a vegetatian, she then told me of a fried chicken take-away round the corner, i only smiled and thanked her lol
next what do you eat? as if in attendance was individual the corpse of dead animals for humans 2 nurture on!! disgusting mannnn!!
"No meat? But you're surely eating salami ..."
I would, but my doctor say I can't.

A surprising large amount of empire I meet own apparently discussed this with their doctors and hold found they have exceptional problems that mean they can't be veg.

Bullsh**. They could at least possible be lacto-ovo.

I did know a girl who was brought up lacto-vegetarian. She was overweight, and her doctor told her if she needed to lose weight that she be missing some amino acid or another and would own to eat chicken. Excuse me, conceivably I'm being unaware here, but what would chicken have within it that an egg wouldn't? She tried it a couple times, was disgusted, switched to Weight Watchers and get really skinny.

An old housemate of mine go on a date with a guy who used to be lacto-vegetarian...until he learned to adopt death. :-p
"Meat is too right. Why would you want not to have any." "We are at the top of the food tie up, if we don't eat it, later we are messing up the food chain." Aren't those the most ridiculous responses you've hear in long time.
Hi! I get a few:

ME: Oh I'm sorry, I don't eat meat.
LADY: Oh it's ok, this is fish.

PERSON: What do you be a sign of you don't meat?!
ME: Um, just that I don't chomp through living things.
PERSON: Well, plants are living things!!
ME: Let's put it this way, things that enjoy a face.
PERSON: A flower have a face! What do you meditate the petals are?!
DOH!!

Oh well, you cram to ignore! Hehe... xx

OH! I remembered another one ;]

ME: I'm a lacto-vegetarian.
TEACHER: But you eat fish right?
ME: No, I don't put away fish.
TEACHER: You don't eat meat, you don't munch through fish - WHAT DO YOU EAT?!

And this is my school headmaster. HELP! =)
(on anyone presented with a plate of meaty stew):
"...I'm so sorry, I be sure that I'd mentioned that I'm vegetarian"
"But you veggies eat, chicken, right?"
"Umm, no, I'm a VEGE- tarian"
"I guess chicken is meat, fine, but you guzzle fish, don't you?"
"No. Never have. That'll be because I'm a ... lacto-vegetarian."
"Oh. Can't you just... pick the meat bits out?"
"Forget it. I hope you don't mind if I skip the stew... I can merely have the vegetables. It's fine, it's what I usually do at home..."
"Sure. Hey we enjoy some great roast potatoes"
"Aw, yum!" (tucking in)
"Yeah, we cook them in dripping, the antiquated fashioned way... make them really crunchy..."

I usually request their 'fantastic, special pasta and spicy tomato sauce, you know the one you did last time' when I stir round there immediately, as, despite it being neither fantastic nor special, at most minuscule I know I'm safe beside that one! :0)
Well, this is pretty funny.

I used to go to a small public university WAY out in the boonies surrounded by Arkansas. Alot of rednecks (i..e.. kids being dropped sour to school surrounded by a pick up with pigs contained by the back..)

Anyway.. During the Summer after 5th status I went lacto-vegetarian. So during 6th grade my classmates be still getting used to it. Here's an ACTUAL conversation I had next to one.. I swear..and they WEREN"T Joking

Classmate: Want half of my balogna sandwich?
Me: I don't munch through meat anymore
Classmate: Oh yeah, that's right.. you're a VeterINARIAN now, huh?

LOLlll.

Yup, an eleven year antiquated vet. The animal's Doogie Houser!! LOL..
everyone I know has asked at some point what nearly chicken?
I am in virtuous health, not often have colds or digestive problems, similar to walking, gardening and keeping fit and I think I look a usual, healthy colour. When I mentioned, during a chat to my subsequent door but one neighbour, that I was a lacto-vegetarian, she looked genuinely concerned and exclaimed, 'Oh dear! Do you get the impression alright? - you must be desperately short of protein and vitamins!'

People do get the strangest design!!
Once while taking a trip through Kansas I stopped at a small restaurant for lunch. After searching through their complete menu for something to eat I finally contracted to order a cheese sandwich. The waitress asked, "What benign of meat do you want on that?" I said, "Just cheese,lettuce, and tomato." She seemed confused and finally said, "I don't know if the cook can variety it like that - but I'll ask."

I've also be told to "just pick the meat out of it" when a dish be prepared with meat. When I suggested, "If I cooked something beside cat poop in it could you only pick the poop out and eat the rest?" I be then regard as being unreasonable.

Go integer.
Well, once when I told somebody I was lacto-vegetarian they asked me; "So where do you do your food shopping?"
I don't know if they believed me or not when I answered; "Tesco - same as everybody else!!"
this one guy said to me "capably I have to put away meat as my religion says I do" I asked what religion that be, he said *drum roll plz* "catholic.."

I ain't religious but Im sure nowhere in the bible does it influence "and on the 8th day god said...waste animals and eat them or you shall burn contained by hell"

alsoI had one creature ask me "why aren't you anorexically thin, vegetarian are becasue its a scientific certainty its bad for you" so simply callign me fat (which Im not!) and later sayign science had said we're weak...whcih is the complete opposite of the truth obv!

I;ve have "but we need meat to live we'd die if we didn;t devour meat" ok so I'm dead later? WOW! call the word this is front pqage stuff if you;re talking to a unresponsive girl!

I've also been told that I deficiency intelligence for beign vegetarian as its not upright for the brain.I must be doing the PhD in Law for dummies after.

ahhh hilarious stuff some meat eaters are surely deranged!
its ok to hurt a carrot next? how rediculous can people be?
irritant #1 : "but brooke, what roughly speaking killing the plants. they own feelings too. its lately as bad."

irritant # 2 : "i'm basically worried your not getting enough protein/calcium/food" (i'm lacto-vegetarian, not anorexic)

silly : "oh your vegan, okay. do you want blueberry pie or canolies?" that come from my mimi. though she's 86 so i just don't imagine she gets it. :)
My fondness is 'no you're not'. along with
'what roughly speaking chicken?'
'so what do you eat?'
'god give us the teeth we have so we could chomp through meat'
'thats why animals are on the earth'
'so you don't eat sweets?'
'tree hugger'
miscellaneous rabbit food comments..
and of course the successful one ---> 'WHY??'
Someone asked me if I was a lacto-vegetarian because I hated plants, and if so, be that why I wanted to drink them. It was really abnormal...but I think they be joking.
My funniest entry was said to me by a co-worker. I don't even know how we come onto the topic of my vegetarianism, but after I told her I was lacto-vegetarian she said "I could never be vegetarian, I don't enjoy enough room contained by my medicine cabinet for adjectives the vitamins." I just nod my head, and said zilch.

Another funny story was closing week I was invited to turn to a restaurant. The only entity that could be considered vegetarian be the house salad, so I said I wasn't really enthused something like going. My mother turns to me and say "can't you freshly pretend like nearby is no meat in some of the dishes. If you don't know for sure afterwards what is the difference."
My mother used to tell me corned beef be OK to eat as it be not real meat. Left over beef also passed the assessment as it was cold!
it make me laugh when you grasp accused of missing meat because you drink quorn. 'why do u eat it if you dont crave meat afterwards?' they say.

i articulate...'same reason you drink milk..i close to it and its good for me.unless, or course you are of late CRAVING your mothers breast milk....??'

that shuts them up..
nothing
