Are you starting to tire of answering 'why are you vegetarian?'?!
Are you starting to tire of answering 'why are you vegetarian?'?
it's probably asked about 30 times a day.
do you answer each one with the same cut and paste answer? or do you even bother to answer them anymore??

i don't mean to sound rude, let them ask. it doesn't matter to me
my question is do you bother to type up the same answer everytime or do you have one standard answer you cut and paste

I realize that many are just coming around to this way of thinking, and I am happy to answer most individually. Its usually the same thread, but I like sharing what I know to help someone come to the realization that its a better way of life. Many questions are the same on here, but thats just the nature of it. The one I am REALLY sick of is "do vegetarians eat animal crackers" I dont even bother with that one
no
That they keep asking the same question over and over is a sure sign of Mad Cow Disease. Have patience with them.
i just say it's a health choice.
I have answered some and when someone asks the same question Yahoo answers pops up and gives them a previous answer. Maybe they are lonely and need to connect with someone
Always answer with the classic question, "Why not?" Let them answer that one truthfully - if they can!!
If those questions bother you, just ignore them...don't answer them anymore. Some people just don't think to look and see if the question has already been asked.
no because I'm more than happy to share my story.
It's so irritating..even more so when its face to face.
I've decided to just answer the question with something along the lines of:
Could you kill the pig for the bacon in your breakfast?
If they answer with 'no', then i say well neither could I, and thats why i don't eat meat.
Simple as that..and they never argue!!!
xox
I think your getting worked up over nothink. if your fed up of seeing the same Questions then dont Answer them. simple!
Not so much. I get a bit tired of answering "Do vegetarians eat *insert dead animal here*?" I end up answering it anyway because I see answers that say "Oh, of course vegetarians can eat *that* dead animal."
I also sometimes get tired of "How do I get protein?" It is great they are searching and want to know, but it is such a ridiculous myth. Also, I typed that in one day and found around 600 questions asking or relating to the question.
I sometimes cut and paste, and sometimes I direct them to websites they will never read. I generally try to be original to the asker, but there are some answers and information I have worked hard to make. For the answers I have put a lot of work into, I will reuse them. I will also try and tailor them to the asker, whether it be adding or taking away some of my info.

I don't mind when people ask me why I am a vegetarian, I mind when they do not actually want to know and are only using the question for a springboard for their unoriginal pseudo-wit.
I agree with Beebs, I feel that about half of the questions are sincere, and looking for information. I answer each one individually and tailor the answer to what I believe they are looking for.
I typically discuss it from a health angle because that is why I went veggie. But animal welfare has become an issue so I can discuss it if I feel it necessary.
When it isn't sincere, in my opinion, I typically don't answer, that is unless there is an opening for a humorous jab.
when people ask in real life, i make up different answers - mostly i tell them that i hate plant-life and want it to suffer accordingly :)
yes they are in our section why do ask us I love it and am happy I feel good thank for finally saying is this enough I just stop answering them thank so much
If it is someone new to this forum I don't mind or if someone is just discovering vegetarianism and want's responses from others I don't mind either.
