I live in California where there are plenty of vegetarians, but people still bug me about being one all the time. Even after years my co-workers can't let it go. I think they are doing it because they feel the need to defend eating meat to someone who doesn't eat meat. I don't know why. I don't judge anyone for eating meat. But, you just have to ignore it and not let it get to you. I've been insulted, teased, and everything else you can imagine, but I don't let it get to me. I even had someone tell me once that being a vegetarian was an insult to God. I'm a vegetarian for my own reasons and not to please anyone else. If people have a problem with you being a vegetarian, remember, it's THEIR problem. Not yours. You have to do what's best for you in life.

There is nothing wrong with being different ...People especially in meat and potato towns cannot understand why someone would not eat meat. If you are young that probably adds to the confusion as the old days it was believed that you must have a certain amount of meat to grow and stay healthy. I have a nephew who has never had any type of meat "he is 7" and while it is kinda strange to watch my 7 year old have a burger or chicken for lunch and watch him order beans I do not consider him odd. Be strong and don't worry about what others think!!

Are you a card carrying member of PETA, (People Eating Tasty Animals) or just an innocent bystander?
I once found a mass produced , illustrated card on the windshield of my pickup when I came out of a store in a shopping plaza near my home in the Deep South, (Redneck Country). The card was placed there by a member of PITA. The person who placed it there had apparently observed my fishing from the roadside a few hundred yards before the plaza. The card read, in essence: Imagine that you ware standing under an apple tree and when you reached up to pick an apple, a large hook penetrates your outstretched hand and jerks you up into an atmosphere where you cannot breathe....that is what you are doing to the poor fish that you trick into biting the bait!!!!
What a bunch of crap!!!!

You need to use the "spell check." There is nothing weird about being a vegetarian. People do not eat meat for a variety of reasons, and that is their own business. I am a meat eater, and I have had friends who were vegetarian, and we got along fine. Maybe these people do not understand that you can be healthy without eating meat? As long as you are not harping on others to stop eating meat, I would just ignore the comments.

I don't have a problem with vegiterians, although it is alittle weird to live in what you say "redneck city" where everyone eats chicken and drinks beer and be a vegiterian lol but hey it's your choice, who cares what others think

Your stereotyping yourself...is your weirdness.
Your not weird for not eat meat or being vegetarian.
you might be making more light about yourself being a veggie and bring negative attention to yourself because of all the special attention that your requiring that is most likely what people don't like or think is weird...I have know all kinds of people who are Veggies from all walks of life even beef cowboys.
It might be your whining or close mindlessness toward yourself...
“I can't eat this or that…because I am a vegetarian”…get it weirdo…
Look for positive…and likenesses… so not to bring attention to yourself setting yourself up to be a weirdo.

your trying to be a rebel. your not accomplishing anything by not eating meat. if your doing it to save the animals well its to late because they are sadly hunted and sadly being sold everywhere. being a vegiterian unless for health reasons is stupid. that is true what that guy says you are killing plants by eating only that stuff which have lives too.

People probably think that your weird because they don't agree or feel the same way as you.
But don't worry cause if not eating meat is something that you strongly believe in then you should stick with it don't worry about what others think.
