Why do people who aren't vegetarian come to this section and bash us?

Question

I get enough of that from the rest of society

any body who cares enough about themselves to research what they eat cannot argue that being a vegitarian is healthy

panacea: I'm not the smug arrogant one bashing others about their lifestyles; if I'm smug, it's because I know something you don't know... I WILL LIVE LONGER THAN YOU. Bah.

Answer 1

Your question is valid and one that I would like an answer to as well. From the comments I have seen, cannibals are just ignorant and not worth worrying about.
If they want to come to this category surely they must learn of the damage they are doing to their bodies.
Don't worry, they are just ignorant and as a vegan I cop a lot of criticism from meat eaters I know. I dont try to change their way of thinking, they just cant accept my choice of veganism.

Answer 2

To panacea: I think that YOU'RE the arrogant one and that you're also very judgmental - which is actually just proving the point. Vegetarians live ten years on average than meat eaters - so in your face! So if you don't know anything about being vegetarian - why don' t you just shut the hell up? I'm actually really sick of everyone automatically assuming that if you don't eat meat you're a left winged hippie environmentalist. It's a personal choice, whether you want to eat meat or not and you don't see many people bashing the people who eat meat when it's uncalled for! - yet the moment a vegetarian posts a question it's all "EAT MEAT YOU F-ING RETARD! WE WERE MEANT TO EAT MEAT"
The reason why people do this is because they have nothing better to do - the smarter ones just IGNORE the questions that they don't like and save every body some time. Also, there are a lot of people who simply CAN NOT SPELL - it's hard to take advice from people if you can't even understand what the hell they're saying.

Answer 3

Because they don't care about our beliefs. They don't care for animals the way we do. They just don't understand.

And To Pancaras, why would you call us vegetarians freaky, moronic, smug, and arrogant? How can we be moronic if we care for the welfare of the enviorment, the animals, and ourselves? As a 12 year old vegetarian, I live a healthy lifestyle without meat. I get all the nutrients I need.I may be 12 but I live like any other vegetarian. And how can you say I can have more friends if I eat meat? Thats just F*****G RETARDED! I have many friends who eat meat. They adore me because I am a different individual. You know what?... you are the freaky, moronic, smug, and arrogant person! At Least a person like me cares!! NO ONE MAKES FUN OF ME FOR BEING VEGETARIAN LIKE YOU SAID. THEY ENCOURAGE ME!!! SO YOU CAN GO F**K YOURSELF JACKASS!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Vegetarianism is a very unhealthy lifestyle and vegetarians tend to be freaky, moronic, yet smug and arrogant. It's a bad combination. Why are you so surprised people make fun of you?

Have a steak. You'll live longer and have more friends.

Answer 5

I agree. I made a similar question about a month ago. Meat eaters are rude and narrow minded to come to this section since it has nothing to do with them.

Don't take the bashing from others personally. People are stupid and think insulting is the only way to get back at you instead of keeping their mouth shut.

Answer 6

Everyone finds ways to justify thier point of view. Like you who think veggie and and the others who crunch bones. The fact is human beings have been eating veggies and meat since thousands of years and it really doesnt make any difference what you eat if you feel nice eating it and your body tolerates it well. The add-on ingredients also make a difference.

Smile at those who bash you and give them a carrot when they try and give you balls!!!

Answer 7

This forum in general allows anyone of any maturity level to take pot shots at anyone. This happens to many people who are sincere about their questions. As a Christian and a political conservative I've seen this in the religious and political categories daily. My best advice is to filter out the bad and keep the helpful.

Answer 8

Because you are in the "out" group and some of the middle school mentalities of the "in" group are trained to peck your eyes out.

Plus it doesn't help when people exude a superiority complex just becuase they (temporarily usually) don't eat dead flesh.

Answer 9

b/c they feel threatened.

i have beem a vegetarian for a year now, and almost every time some one finds out that i am one, they try to tell me how stupid i am.
although i have been getting more and more people lately who think it is really cool and they want to know how i manage.

Answer 10

I don't have anything against vegetarians. I like to eat vegetables with my meat. Poor plants! They have feelings too.
