I don't mind vegans and vegetarians. My biggest problem comes in when you run into do and ask "Oh you don't like -insert meat containing dish- ?" and they reply with something along the lines of "Meat is murder." or some statement about how meat is processed, I just automatically tune that person out.

Egg is not considered a vegetarian food in India. Guy was probably trolling you.

But is it halal?
You know that they are right, right?

I might when it came to fast food, the only thing I miss meat-wise are the McDonalds basic Burgers.
Before I was a vegetarian I really only ever liked processed meat, never a steak on its own and whatnot, which is part of the reason I haven't had any issues going vegetarian since the only things meat-eaters dangle in front of me aren't very appetizing.
People who are very passionate about nutrition, one way or the other, can be very annoying. They believe their diet is the ultimate diet and they feel the need to school every one about its merits. Vegans/vegetarians are any not worse in that regards. Those I know keep it to themselves and talk about it only when asked.

How isn't it?
Is there anyway we can turn vegans and vegetarians against one another so that they leave the rest of us alone?
Calories, how do they work?
Milk's not all that great for adults of African descent. They generally don't have the ability to digest lactose.
Calling everything a culture culture needs to go away.

On an almost daily basis it seems (I'm Vegan and get random jokes/snide comments directed at me by meat eaters). Rarely mention it in comparison and I barely bring it up unless I'm getting food or something.

Factory processed designer foods like Boca, Morning Star and all that jazz may have a bit to do with it.
Eat shitloads of pasta with pesto every day, add potato chips and coke, and the rest comes naturally.
The fact that you can't implement your personal policies perfectly doesn't make them ineffective.

Fuck those plant murdering assholes!
Oreos are vegan. They probably eat a lot of Oreos.
Yep. You've got blood on your hands no matter what. If you're eating veggies to reduce that impact that seems reasonable enough though.

I don't care if people eat meat, but I am judgmental of those who eat shit like veal and foie gras.

By some you mean most right?
Significantly less and unfortunately due to the way the world works it's kind of a pain to avoid.
It's not about being perfect or saving animals, it's about as living as free from animal products/cruelty etc (and the animals which do die generally aren't caged/are wild).
Why? It's obvious both numbers don't come close to each other.

depends. I would say most vegans have two categories of why. Ecological and Moral. Moral because harming a living creature is a shitty way to sustain yourself and Ecological because meat production is vastly more energy inefficient than meat.
I love animals but i am far more in the Ecological camp. Beef takes about 10-40 times more water than to produce a pound of soy. Thats just a waste of water. About 80% of our worlds soy fields are used to strictly feed live stock.

Well who pissed in your cereal this morning.
This one time a guy catered purely vegetarian fare at some meeting of >100, and people got irrationally worked up over the lack of meat options. It was really weird.
Yeah, that shit needs to be banned internationally
I am vegan and overweight.
Depression and some of the medication I take cancel out any possible weight loss benefits.

He's probably referring to ovo-lacto vegetarians. There are Hindus who will drink milk and eat eggs, as these don't require death of the "contributing" animal. It's not so much that they consider it "vegetarian" as much as they consider it allowable.

I have a vegan friend who's a bit overweight, and apparently once this girl was talking to him when it came up that he was vegan. Her response was "You're vegan?! But you're so fffffffunny."

I think it's funny that they assume it's appetising or tempting for vegetarians.

I've been having terrible shits lately, I think it must be to this nefarious gluten I've heard so much about.
Get tested for gluten intolerance?
No, no, it can't pick up gluten sensitivity, but I know I got it.

Because "vegetarian" doesn't mean they're eating a piece of celery for a meal?
That's a vegetarian sandwich.

To tell you the truth, I would even go out of my way not to "offend" people's meat eating sensibilities. Especially during holidays with family. As if sticking to greens and sweet potato soufflé was making some sort of statement. Grew tired of placating. People like OP only get worked up because deep down they're guilted by their degenerate, meat eating ways.
I kid... (sorta).

Any diet can make you fat, except maybe starvation, which neither veganism or vegetarianism are.
I struggle with my weight too (constantly having to exercise). I am a big pizza lover though and do love my Cider.

They eat too much food? Don't exercise? Maybe it's glandular?
The cruelty angle is an extremely complex one. You *can* get reasonably cruelty-free meat and dairy, but it usually involves having the good fortune of having local butchers/farmers nearby who are willing to talk about how the animals were raised. And then you kind of just have to take their word for it.
I choose to. You may not, it's totally a personal thing. I did switch to almond milk several years ago because of this; the super-seriously-local farm that delivered precious few bottles to the grocery store had shut down, and once you get milk that fresh it's really hard to go back to the stuff in paper cartons. So I didn't even try.
Plus almond milk in cereal actually tastes better. So, you know, win/win.

yeah, I was joking. I definitely respect vegetarians and understand that it can be a very healthy diet.
I try to do at least one day a week where I don't eat any meat. There are many protein-rich foods that aren't dead animal!
