Don't eat anything you aren't willing and prepared to kill, clean, process, etc. :no: If people followed this guideline, many more people would be vegetarians, definitely.

#18 If offered meat, decline politely. It can be done without offense, you know.

#19 You will not die of starvation if you have to forgo one meal simply because it contains meat.

[Bunny Hugger]

#20 Don't eat anything that use to sh*t.

#21 remember *MOST* cheese isnt even vegetarian because it contains "Rennet" "Rennin" and "Enymes" which is the same thing stomache lining of cows! only buy cheese that says "contains no animal rennet" or "suitable for vegetarians" unless you're vegan of corse.

:D

#22 Dont drink that pus filled milk either. Same goes for cheese.

11. Drop the lobster back into the tank and back away slowly. Pretend you're visiting an aquarium.
Rather, buy the poor thing, cut the rubber bands on his/her claws and set him free in the nearest body of salt water!

#23 if you have to worry about it being dead/alive before or after cooking, don't eat it.

#24 if it HAD or STILL HAS the ability to move on its own power, don't eat it.

Remember that ATTITUDE is an important part of the veg*an lifestyle. Maintain a positive one at all times. NEVER criticize anybody else for eating something you would never touch. ALWAYS be civil and pleasant when questioned about your diet. SMILE and stay calm even when hostile comments are made about your meals. MAINTAIN your sense of humor. When you are comfortable about what you eat, there is no reason to feel guilty or ashamed of it and any negative comments should not affect you. (In short, be a positive role model for the veg*an lifestyle.)
