At a birthday party I went to yesterday. "I'm a diabetic, so I can't eat fruit. Veg*nism is too hard."
Guy on my Facebook posts a picture of a sandwich. A dripping bloody steak sandwich.
Next day: Ahhhh my guts are killing me...Im so ill...why does this keep happening to me (and other such self pitying crap)
Repeat x5

My brother asked me if I ever heard of marrow soup and if I knew how to make it (apparently it's soup cooked with bones
). I didn't hold back telling him how awful and disgusting that sounds. And how the hell would I know how to cook something like that?
The day before he asked me how long it takes to defrost a turkey. Again wtf??????? I think he assumes that since I watch cooking shows I must know these things?
That's the only excuse I can think of.

Ah Pook is here
Heard lots of gems lately. Apparently it got out at work after going on three years that I don't eat meat, so everyone has to offer their two cents on my personal habits.
Some of my favorite:
"You'll die without meat."
Yeah, when? It's going on a decade now.
"It ain't a meal without meat."
Then what's this I'm eating?
"Josh isn't a true vegetarian. He eats eggs and cheese."
Actually, no I don't. I've never mentioned eating such things to this person and I don't. Also, the term "vegetarian" would still apply if I did depending on who you ask.
"What are you, some kinda freak?"
In a manner of speaking, yes.

Credit union member: Are you ready for turkey tomorrow?
Me: Actually, I don't like turkey.
Member: Ham, then?
Me: Nope.
Member: Beef tenderloin?
Me: Nah, my family will be eating turkey, but I've never been into it. Besides, now I'm a vegetarian.
Member: Oh no, how will you celebrate Thanksgiving???!!
Me: .... By giving thanks?
Me: Actually, I don't like turkey.

Conversation with my omni boss/landlord after telling me her son-in-law started a commercial lobstering business:
Her: I really miss going to the beach and eating fresh lobster and seafood.
I get a look of disgust on my face.
Her: I know, I hate the way they die, I wish there was a better way to kill them. But we have to eat them so we don't have a choice.
Me: Of course you have a choice. No one has to eat them, there are plenty of other things to eat. People eat them because they want to, not because they have to.
Her: Well people don't have to hunt either, but they do (apparently she thinks I like hunting).
Me: You're right. No one needs to hunt either, it's something people do because they like it and it's terrible.
She looks away and doesn't say another word.
She's the type of person who could have a pet rabbit, and have no problem going out and buying a rabbit fur jacket.

I just read this on a British forum:
Please don't think I'm getting at you but yesterday I got some cows with calves to graze my field and they've had such a time today exploring their new home and frolicking about that it's seem such a shame to think that if everyone turned veggie there'd be no point in their existence.
I saw this comment on an article about less meat being eaten.
"Vegetarians are so stupid. Don't they know if we stop eating meat there won't be any more cows in the world."

"But it's not the same kind of rabbit! I mean, there are some for us to eat, and some for us to wear, and some for us to keep as pets..."
Especially the bolded part.This most recent one came from a friend. "If you ever want to take a vegan vacation, let me know and I'll make a roast."
I have been a veggie for 15 years. What part of "I'll never eat meat" does she not get?

A vegan vacation actually sounds quite cool, like renting a holiday house and having a tofurkey and a whole lot of vegan casseroles, desserts and cakes and roasted vegetables, and go on hikes eating sandwiches and sipping juice and tea out of a thermos and driving to see attractions.
Well I was coming from the sarcastic angle that you get 25 days a year to eat meat and/or dairy...a Vaction from being vegan. Bad joke.
I have another Come Dine With Me classic. a girl stated she was almost vegetarian, she said she hadnt eaten most meats for years...then she went on to list what she doesnt eat that would qualify her as Vegetarian...in the list she said "I dont eat nuts"
Must be those meat nuts you hear so much about...

"Every time I look at you it makes me want to eat cheese" -the girl in my tutor group again. We weren't even talking, it was just when the teacher stopped talking for a second, like she thought it was something unique to say and was just waiting for a chance... *sigh*
