7 Silliest Things Vegetarians Hear All The Time

Statistics say that there are several times more non vegetarians in the world than vegetarians. And thus being a vegetarian means you are in the minority. The problems of being a vegan are very unique and sometimes extremely funny. The things that vegetarians have to hear on a daily basis can be the subject of a book by itself.

Some of these things that non vegetarians say to vegetarians can be infuriating. But if you are in good humour, these things that vegetarian have to hear all the time seem more funny than offensive. They are meant or said with no ill feelings. However, when non vegetarians say these things, they do not realise how silly they sound.

HOW TO BECOME VEGETARIAN SLOWLY?

Vegetarians are tired of questions that are directed at their diet. These are some of the stupidest things that vegetarians hear all the time.

Were you born this way or you chose it?
As if vegetarianism was not a lifestyle choice but a handicap. It sounds like were you born without an arm or lost it in an accident.

Your family too is vegetarian? All of them?
It is implies that are you the only child abuser in your family or did all your family members go to jail for sexual deviant behavior? Non vegetarians just cannot believe that people who don't eat meat are ‘normal' people like them.

So you have never tasted non vegetarian food?
Okay, so there is hope you still can be converted if you have never tasted non vegetarian food. So you are not criminally inclined, you are simply ignorant of the law that non vegetarian food is more tasty.

If you hang out with me, I will tell you what to begin with..
Your indoctrination process to eat non vegetarian food needs to start immediately. Or else you might infect or influence other healthy meat eating people!

When you are at a restaurant: So what will you have paneer or mushrooms?
As if these are the only two things that are eatable in the entire vegetarian menu. Ever heard of vegetables like cabbage, broccoli and potatoes?

If you offer them your food: It's nice but it tastes kind of different...
‘Different' here means ‘chickenless'.

So you don't eat eggs either? Come on, most vegetarian eat eggs?
Well, eggs are unborn babies of chickens and I don't like to eat them. Anyway, ever heard of the concept called ‘vegan'; it is different from vegetarian.
