Lol I was at a bbq too. Guy says if it breathes & moves, he'll shoot it & eat it. I said I'd better keep out of his way then. He then proceeded to tell me his recipe for duck a lorange(?) in extreme detail...from skinning the duck to serving the dish.

I loathe it when people say, "I know you're a veg*n and all, but man, if you ever take a holiday from that, have I got a (insert flesh-filled recipe here) for you," and then they go on to explain the recipe. What part of "I do this for the animals" do these people not get? *shakes head*
Maybe I'm being unrealistic, but for people who have known me for years, why do they think I would be interested in hearing about, in great detail, how delicious their meat-ladened recipe turned out.
Yep, annoying! They are like, "I know you wouldn't eat this, but OMG, my (flesh-filled) meal was so freakin delicious/awesome/tasty/fabulous.

Someone told me that its good to eat meat because animals might rise up and take over the world. I mean that is a really, really bad argument. So I said that that would actually be really great. Because it would. They didn't know that animals are bred in factory farms .
Also, whenever someone asks me why I don't eat meat, I just tell them that its a personal choice that I made, and that usually gives them a hint that I don't want to talk about it.

"But....what about the vegetables?" 
"Where do you get your protein?"
"You're not doing anything to help the animals...someone else is just gonna eat the meat you're not."

This. Just. This-
Vegetables have feelings too, you're hurting all the veggies and plant life!
Listen, to all the bubs who say this, your steak ate about 10x more plants than I do in just a day.

Someone on a an art forum I'm on is looking for elephant art that people are willing to donate towards making money for the their care and protection. Ivory poaching was mentioned as a major cause of their decline.
This stupid woman was actually defending the use of ivory because 'it's so nice'. She suggested elephant farms where they are bred for their ivory.
She said they could just put them to sleep to remove their tusks without killing them.
Knowing it was useless to use compassion, morality or ethics in a argument with her (as she obviously had none), I pointed out how unsustainable (and stupid) that would be. The cost of lifetime care; 60+ years of food, water and medical care, would be far more than the profit from the ivory. After posting that I soon learned she was even worse than I first thought. She suggested they be used for entertainment (circuses, elephant rides, etc), and as a pack animal to carry things, to make more money from them.
I couldn't help myself, I had to answer her, but diplomatically so I wouldn't be kicked off the forum. Hopefully what I posted will show what a heartless B**** I think she is, but in a nice passive-aggressive way.

What the... ?!?!?!
Suggest you use her to start a human tooth farm of a similar nature. I'm sure she could carry stuff and entertain people to earn her keep as well.

An omni friend once told me veggienators were crazy. o-o And my dad/neighbors/most people constantly say, "It's just a phase, she'll get over it." In fact, my dad came home tonight after a long business trip and said quote: "What!? she's still doing that vegetarian thing?"
LOL. We'll see if it's just a phase when I'm the only one who hasn't died of a heart attack.

My son went veg at about 9 years old, dragging me and my husband with him. He is now 22, and extended family members still call it his "veggie phase". He offers to arm wrestle or spar with any of his cousins who think he needs more protein. (He's close to 6' tall, very strong, and a martial artist.)
They also try to get him to "try" beer and other drinks with alcohol. Last time his cousins pressured him, he said he would prefer not to test the theory of alcoholism being a inheritable tendency.[emoji38]

I hate having to listen to the 'yummy meat' talk all the time. Sometimes I just can't shut up.
The other day at lunch, a coworker held up piece of pig meat on her fork and said, "Look at how odd this pork looks." I looked at it and said, "Probably either the pig's snout or perhaps a slice of his curly tail." Dead silence, then she actually laughed. (In the US it is considered gross to eat certain PARTS of animals, like the snout.) I wanted to say testicle but decided against it.
