how many people are vegetarians?

Question

im a vegetarian and my friends make fun of me(some friends) they also think meats GOOD for you is that true.people also dont no how to treat you wen they take you out to eat.

Answer 1

I am. I live in New York, so vegetarianism is well understood.

Answer 2

I'm almost completely vegetarian and have been since a year. I just read somewhere once that a woman became a vegetarian for the love of animals- that got me seriously thinking! I love animals and suddenly decided that I couldn't bear eating meat anymore- at least red meat. I eat some fish and occasionally some chicken or half a sausage, but it goes no further than that. I eat more fish for protein and 'cause it's good for the skin. I also need the protein for my adolescence... but someday, I'll only eat fish and nothing else! Maybe even no fish, who knows? I just know that once I don't have to keep gaining weight (I'm as thin as ever) and get the protein I currently need, I'll become a total vegetarian.

Word of advice- ignore those friends' remarks- they're no good! Maybe they're just bothered at your decision for certain reasons!

Thanks for reading! :)

Answer 3

I'm a vegetarian and I have two vegetarian sisters and we have all been veggie for around the same about of time (12 years)... ugh.. some people think you cannot eat without meat.. But I think you have way more options without meat.. It goes to show how closed minded people can be and it is a great way to weed out the unwanted so called 'friends'.

Answer 4

Meat is food; there's nothing wrong with it. However, it's certainly true that a healthy diet may contain little or no meat. So eat what you like and never mind what your friends say.
