Vegetarian/vegan related peeves

[Melanie]

1) About 90% of the time someone is informed that I am a vegetarian, they say: "Well, I don't eat that much meat to be honest", as if it were the same thing as not eating it at all. Most of the time they're deluding themselves when saying this, since most of them eat meat anytime they eat in my presence.

2) People who ask what I DO eat. I often respond as nice as I can that I'm obviously eating something since I haven't dropped any weight since going veg. Yes, going veg can work for losing weight for some people, but I'm almost glad that didn't happen to me in the 4 years I've been veg. Proves that vegetarians don't necessarily get all thin and sickly.

So annoying! My friend said she doesn't eat much meat, she just has meat at every meal.

The sad thing is she probably doesn't even realize that she eats that much of it. You never really notice how unbelievably much meat people eat until you stop eating it
