    It is more than likely that we all know meat-eaters. What are some of the ignorant things they have said to you about being vegetarian/vegan? How do you respond?
    Like for me:
    “Where do you get your protein?!?”
    “From eating…”

    “But you’re not like a REAL vegan right?!”

    “Making kids vegetarians should be child abuse…”
    “Eating animals should be animal abuse. Do you know what you are feeding your kid when you give them hot dogs? That’s abuse.”

    God, I hate the “what about bacon” one! It is still an animal, ergo it’s a meat. I agree with you; it is definitely a blood-boiling question. Keep speaking up for what you believe in!

    Oh, and another one:
    “So, you can’t eat much, can you?”

    “What about bacon?”

    Totally agree Amy; plants are alive, but they do not feel pain the way that animals do! However, I would never cut down a tree without planting two in its place. Right! The meat is actually decaying on the long trip through their stomachs, totally unattractive. Keep on making a huge difference by living vegan!

    oh.my.god I hate the “Planrts are alive and have feelings too” its ignorant bullshit, yes they are alive and I love plants but they are not brutally murdered while they slip in their own blood. *sigh* some people..

    Why are you vegan?
    “why not?”

    “do you really think your making a difference?”
    More than you!

    “But meat is delicious”
    I wasnt aware that dead flesh was a yummy thing to eat

    I’m pretty sure we get all get asked the same wide variety of questions lol.
    I found this pretty funny and true it also actually shows a pretty good way to handle all the different types of questions:

    I don’t have one that bothered the crap out of me, but…

    Person: “Why are you vegan?”
    Me: “Why am I NOT?”
    Person: “What do you eat?”
    Me: “Everything!! Veggies, burgers, fruits, bread, etc. all without the cruelty of the meat/dairy/egg industry :)

    them: “You need protein & iron & calcium – vegetables don’t give you that.”
    me: “Educate yourself, please.”

    Everyone: “Why do you do it?”
    Me: “Why don’t you!”

    My BFF:
    “I understand why you don’t want to eat chickens or cows because they give us stuff like milk. But who cares about fish? They don’t give us anything.”

    Me: -.-…
    “Have you ever heard of caviar? And without fish our oceans would die.”

    Ugh, I hate those questions! Great replies to their questions; I love it when they aren’t angry replies, just logical. :)
