-Can you eat chicken?
-Can you eat fish?
-Can you eat animal crackers?
-Can you eat Goldfish?
-If you were on an island with no plants but a bunch of cows....?*
-Bet you can't beat me arm-wrestling!
-Did you know that Hitler was a vegetarian?**
*They seem to force me into accepting their way of life, which is silly. Anyway, cows eat plants. Insane alert!
**Whenever I answer with the fact that it was a PR campaign to show him as "pure", they never accept it.

oh boy, there are so many!
Of course the standard questions that come with not understanding the phrase "No animal products":
-ok, but what about shrimp?
-so you can't have eggs?
-not even pizza?!
And then there are the ones that try to convince me that being vegan doesn't save any animals:
-But plants are alive, don't you think they scream inside every time you bite them?
-Animals are used in farming for the plows and stuff, what about them?
And then there's the stupid stuff:
-I'm such a huge animal lover (while they're eating a portion of a cow)
-(**from a friend who was playing a video game in which you can kill animals**) I felt so bad when I accidently killed a cat it meowed and fell over...It's so funny when you kill a cow, it moos and keels over hahaha

hahaha! ooh, I get to vent!
Every single omni I EVER tell I'm vegan says... (pause) "so... do you eat fish??"
Others I get asked a LOT:
"Do you eat turkey and chicken?" I repeat myself, "No, I don't eat any animal products." (pause) "So no chicken?"
"Do you eat seafood?"
"What do you EAT, then????" As if I'm about to flip over and die at any moment.
"Do you eat hot dogs?" ...retard.
"Jello's vegan."
"you're cold 'cause you need BEEF!"
"But I like MEAT. MMMMM."
"What's wrong with meat?"
"You're just wanting attention."
"All vegetarians are stupid. Humans are made for meat. We have sharp canines." ....ooh, I HATE that one. We have little spade-shaped teeth! Not round elongated canines!! grrr. We don't have claws, either.
I could go on for hours. lol! :)
hugs to all vegans here! Way to be!

Maybe they were trying to understand, and in their way, made light of it, not so much for your benefit, but theirs.
My guys (hubby/sons) have a dry sense of humor..
Sometimes it takes three angels - one to cover my mouth and two to hold me back - just so I don't smack them

i'm sure you know there's a standard group of initial questions...my favorite being: "what do you eat on thanksgiving?"

that it's ok to kill animals because plants are living too.
