    In reading some of these replies, there are quite a few smug comments against meat eaters. You all should remember it goes both ways. Being non mean eater is right for you. Eating meat is right for me.

    I loved the post of the person whose family had 3 versions of turkey, one being tofurkey. That is the way is should be, everyone doing what is right for them and not judging.

    I was having eggs in front of him one day and he laid this on me:

    "So how are you enjoying that chicken menstruation?" I laughed to tears.


    I also love to say to my kids when they pour tons of honey into their tea "Boy, you sure like your Bee Puke!"

    I think it's definately possible for people to discriminate. It basically comes down to them being uneducated about what being a vegetarian actually is and why people make the choice to become one. Also, they think the food isn't tastey. Yes, it's rude. Yes, it's wrong. Look at it this way.... it's a chance for you to help correct people's misconceptions about it!

    PS I'm not a vegetarian, but a flexitarian. I only eat animal products 1-2 a week. I just don't crave it!

    Ah, I have to say I agree. I'm friends with a girl who is a vegetarian, and she's constantly posting smug, self righteous vegetarian articles and the like with titles like "UGGS ARE MURDER!!!"....I happen to own a pair of Uggs, they keep my feet warm and I wear them RELIGIOUSLY (and not for fashion reasons, either) so I don't feel like ANY animal died in vain or for no reason...not to mention animal hide has been used for CENTURIES as a form of clothing in one way or another :flowerforyou:
