Why do clueless people make judgements about vegetarians?
I know this is a pointless question that will draw the meat eaters who insist we need meat. I don't mind, I am in the mood for a laugh. What my question is, is why do you think vegetarians are emaciated, pale, anorexic hippies? I get plenty of quality whole protein from grains and beans, and vegetables. I get all of the necessary vitamins I need (tested with blood work) My body feels stronger and healther, and my digestive issues and other health ailments have improved dramatically since I gave up meat and poultry. I don't care if you eat meat...eat what you want...but quit making stupid judgements about vegetarians, when you simply do not have a clue about it. I can tell you the nutritional value, calories, sodium content, vitamin content, etc of every food I eat. Unless you can say the same, then why not just go grill your tasty animal and leave us veggies alone?

Oh, and before you accuse me of being uptight and angry, I am neither. I just would prefer to exchange recipes with fellow veggies in our one little catagory-you dont see us over in all of your sections pushing our ideas on you

My belief is that many animal-eaters feel threatened by vegetarians, that they perceive they are the ones being judged, and therefore, when most of us feel threatened, we respond aggressively or go on the attack. I think that's what can lead a person to make a comment like "The Bible doesn't support it" when I can send you a book and CD that goes on and on about how the Bible does, and along with a million other things the Bible "supports" which are not morally acceptable today. i.e. I'm sure there's someone somewhere that feels slavery and poligamy are good because they're in the Old Testament. And there's an interesting line of studies which show how meat-eating animals are significantly more aggressive than herbivores. So, bottom line, don't make those animal-eaters mad or they might just come after your babies and all you will have to fend yourself off with will be a celery stalk and a stiff piece of seitan. (a nod to you, whispersofindago's --- your post cracked me up! :)
Actually you are coming off a bit hostile.
A great recipe index for vegetarian recipes is here: http://allrecipes.com/recipes/everyday-c...
Just for the record, I am one of those meat-eaters but I do not have any preconceived notions about vegetarians or vegans for that matter. I've been on vegetarian diets and I've been on meat consuming diets. I like what I like regardless and don't care in the slightest what anyone else chooses or declines in eating.
As long as its not infants...then I just have to get mad and will make some sort of nasty statement and make all kinds of a fuss. Human babies are not for eating nor do they taste good with ketchup.
Anyhoo...enjoy the recipe site. They have a great veggie chili dish!
vegetarians are just bad HUNTERS!
Those 4 little teeth you have ('canines'-as in dog/meat eater) are for just that-tearing into MEAT. I don't eat all that much meat, either, but I'm definitely not for being a vegan. For one thing, the Bible doesn't support it.
I don't make judgments, for a matter of fact I am a vegetarian. It is very much more healthier and meat is very disgusting. Contact me.
i think people can eat what they wish when they wish,.it's just some people believe that eating any living animal is wrong,..
i was a vegan for 5 years and had no problems,....
good luck,..,.thanks,..,
im a meat eater, but i dont judge veggitarians. I have friends that are veggitarians, ones even a vigan. And i dont mind that somtimes when im with them i eat veggitarian food too. i wont eat meat. and i dont think veggitarians are pale anorexic hippies, their just normal people who dont like eating meat(animals) but i have had veggitarian meat though and i didnt like it no offense. So dont think everyone thinks that all veggitarians are freaks just because a couple people do.
I am on a vegan diet although I do it only for the nutritional value and not the beliefs. I do not pass judgment on other people who do it for what they believe it. I like that my weight is dropping dramatically, so much that it is hard to believe. I have to tell people that I am on this diet all the time b/c they ask why I don't eat this and that...but they never question my motive. Honestly there are just so many judgmental people out there that don't really have anything to believe in themselves that they find it hard to believe that people can be so passionate about thing. What can I say but there are a lot of ignorant non-cultured people out there. Hang if there, don't get mad about it just have patients. If someone passes judgment just remember the reasoning behind what you are doing and you are the better person.
Vegetarians don't bother me... I do, however, have a question for the vegans!
Do you drink milk?
but meat tastes good, and if some people don't eat meat, it's my job to tell em to eat meat, or else they will missout on taste.
Because they are clueless.
I've been a vegetarian for 6yrs now and proud to be one. I've been asked by some of my family members (who are meat eaters) "why did you give up eating meat??, "why are you still a vegetarian..?, and "eat meat be healthy". It's like i've committed a sin...
Meat Eaters should mind their own business. They should'nt judge and give us nasty comments just because we don't eat meat.
s'ok if u eat fish
but u are not veg
