The Stupidest THing?!
The Stupidest THing?
whats the stupidest thing someone has ever said to you about being Veggie? the best answer will be the funniest one.
Answers:
"Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?" is my personal favorite.
Source(s):
Offical keeper of the count.
The stupid that I get most often is "..but you eat chicken, right?" To which I reply, "Sure, let's go out to the chicken tree and pick some, LOL."
Called a salad shooter (when I'm on the potty)
Although us veggies are well know to be intelligent ( 90% are A1 or A2 categories ) even this is an impossible question to answer for us...
..i cannot choose between any of the 1000's of stupid comments we receive.
are vegans all gay and will burn in hell when they die?
"......do want some meat?......"
hmmmm i dont know i get alot of comments no questions though... and the comments are usually really really dumb or mean
Not funny... but the stupidest thing I hear is "if god wanted us to be vegetarians, why did he make animals out of meat?" And YES... actual people have said this to me... it's not just the trolls on here. Do they not realize that we are made of exactly the same thing that animals are made of??????
When I was about 13 I met a vegetarian person for the first time, and she didn't mind me cooking meat, but wagered we could have a cook off, I made Mexican food with hamburger, and she made Mexican food with beans. I had such a good time that night with it I got to thinking how it might be nice to do without meat.
I tried later to explain to my father that beans are a good substitute for meat,and he said, "But beans make you fart!" (usual guffaws)
i get these ALL the time:
"don't you feel guilty about those poor, helpless plants you're eating?"
"you'll DIE if you become a vegetarian!!!"
"you don't eat meat? then what DO you eat?!"
"mmmmmm... MEAT! [while waving chicken in my face]"
"You dont know what you are missing!"..... umm, yeah I do, the cooked flesh of a living being....no thanks!
yeah i get "you eat chicken right" comment too
??????/
"what the hell do you eat?"
1. Well you eat fish right?
2. How do you live? (Asked by my anorexic-no seriously- friend who doesn't eat a thing)
3. What do you eat?
4. How much longer are you going to be a vegetarian?
And the best of all said by my anorexic friend again:
5. My dad thinks all vegetarians are retarded. Meat is supposed to be eaten... (says who??)
None are that funny...but that's what i get most of the time : [
"Oh, you're a vegan, so do you eat cheese?"
OR... my FAVORITE!
"So, you're a vegan? I thought they were supposed to be thin."
Can we say BURN!
The stupidest things I have heard are:
"well, don't vegetables feel pain too then? Why don't you just live on sunshine instead, then NOTHING has to die so you can eat!"
"can you eat hamburger?" to which I reply, 'I can eat anything I want, but I choose not to eat animal flesh.' (honestly, my mother-in-law asked me that!)
I have heard so many stupid comments about being vegan... but the one that I think is the funniest (personally) is by a person that claims to be a vegetarian, but eats fish. Every time I hear her say she is vegetarian I have to hold back laughter and bite my tongue to not say anything. The sad thing is, this 'vegetarian' is my mom. Recently my 10 yr old (vegan) son told her "grandma, fish may not be mammal, but it's still animal. Flesh is flesh." He summed up what I have wanted to say to her for 10+ years.
...btw, deegarry, I like that answer, sounds like a few conversations I have had.
Boorish Carnivore: "You vegetarians love to deny yourself things, don't you?"
Snapper: "Yes, things like heart attacks, diabetes and cancer."
Boorish Carnivore: "Tofu is gross. Snapper: "But 'sliced tongue' has aesthetic appeal?"
Boorish Carnivore: "If you ate meat, you'd be taller."
Snapper: "If you read up on nutrition, you'd be quieter. One study of children raised on a vegan diet revealed that they had perfectly adequate growth compared to other children."
Boorish carnivore: "How do-you get enough protein?"
Snapper: "By eating enough food. Protein isn't just in meat--it's in grains, legumes and vegetables, too. Simply eating a varied diet with adequate calories takes care of my protein needs."
Boorish Carnivore: "Don't carrots feel pain when you slice them?"
Snapper: "Is your pet rock insulted when you forget to walk it?"
Boorish Carnivore: Vegetarianism is weird.
Snapper: "Not quite as weird as killing animals and burying their remains in your body."
Boorish Carnivore: Vegetarian food is too expensive."
Snapper: "Sure. Beans are much pricier than steak."
Boorish Carnivore: If we stop eating cows, won't they become extinct?"
Snapper: "Let me get this straight: I have to kill a cow or it might die?"
Boorish Carnivore: If you ate meat, you wouldn't have that cold."
Snapper: "If you stopped sneezing on me, I wouldn't have this cold."
Boorish Carnivore: Vegetarians can t eat in normal restaurants."
Snapper: "Yeah, we're limited to just a few specialized cuisines: American, Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Moroccan, Thai...(continue until the carnivore concedes)"
Boorish Carnivore: "I'd like to be a vegetarian, but I don't have the time to cook like that."
Snapper: "Really? I find that cooking up some 5-minute couscous and sauteed, marinated veggies takes a lot less time than baking a chicken on a Sunday afternoon. I guess I'll have to get my watch checked."
Boorish Carnivore: "You re too serious about this vegetarian stuff. My philosophy is live and let live."
Snapper: "So is mine."
"wait...doesnt peanut butter hav butter in it?"
"you can eat eat bread wow doesnt that have butter in it?"
"Why do you think animals should hav the same rights as a human?"(Duh we are animals)!!
"you eat chicken and fish though right?"
"can you eat animal crackers?"<--stupid question
This is an actual conversation i had with my friend~
"So you dont eat beef?
no.
chicken?
no.
and no milk or eggs?
um...no
only vegetables?
yup.
what about fish?
no...
fish isnt meat...its a freakin vegetable!"
=)
The thing that is really stupid and bugging me to my last nerve right now is: my husband, who is an omnivore is constantly being told he's invited over to other people's homes (mostly one person that I have mentioned time and time again that my husband eats all the meat he wants) to have a raw slice of steak since I don't feed him!
Some guys I knew at my school came up to me and asked me "So you don't like meat right?". And I said "Yes. I'm vegan." So another boy said "So you're never going to try our "meat" then?" Then I knew what they meant and I was just disguested. xD
Most of what I get is just stupid, not funny. The funniest line I've heard in a long time was from My Big Fat Greek Wedding....
Bride: "He's a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat."
Aunt: "What do you mean he don't eat no meat?!"
-whole room falls silent-
Aunt: "That's OK, I make lamb."
Salad shooter is pretty funny, though.
