What was the most weirdest question someone asked you about your vegetarianism?

Question

The weirdest questiono someone asked me was how i could get protein in my body. I was thinking for a whille and thought, all these unintelligent people! What was the weirdest question anyone ever asked you about your vegetarianism?

Thanks for answering and have a nice day!

Question? Let's make it an action too!

Answer 1

you don't look like a vegan.(i guess that means they think vegans are sickly and pale)

My dad thinks I'm trying to lose weight(My BMI is 21 and I already have a really low bodyfat %,so I can't lose much weight,I'm not even chubby or fat.)

What do you eat?

Do you eat fish?

My teacher pronounces it Vay-gun instead of Vee-Gun.

Some people think I'm a hippie because I have kind of long hair and I'm vegan and I skateboard.

What are you gonna do on Thanksgiving?(turkeys not the only thing there is to eat,they didn't even have turkey at the first thanksgiving.

I usually bring my own lunch and my friends will always look at my food and be all curious and ask me what it is like they've never eaten rice or beans or vegetables or whatever.

Do you work for PETA?

Vegetables have feelings TOO!

They assume everything I eat is organic,most don't even know what that is.I was drinking a capri-sun and they asked me if it was organic.There is no such thing as organic capri-suns.

When they find out they get all suprised,they'll say "you're a vegan?"

What do you eat for dinner,celery sticks? That actually came from a girl.

Answer 2

When I was a kid, I used to get a lot of stuff along the lines of "So you've never had pizza?" Or lasagna, or... If something often had meat in it, people had never thought about just eating it without the meat. Very odd. That doesn't happen nowadays, though.

I don't know if it counts as a question, but -- I've never had meat; I was raised vegetarian, and if that comes up, it's often met with denial. "No, but really, you must have..." No. "Okay, but you've tried it, right?" No. "So when have you ever had meat?" (Sigh.)

And:

"Don't you want to try it?"

That strikes me as a bit odd. If I did, wouldn't I have already done so?

The lifelong-veg thing just confuses a lot of people. I can go through the "but you've tried it, right?" -- no -- conversation with somebody, and then they'll ask fifteen minutes later why I don't like the _taste_ of meat.

And, given that most restaurants have vegetarian stuff, "How do you eat in restaurants?" strikes me as a weird one. Worst case, there's a plate of fries or something, and on a cross-country road trip once, I ended up eating a disgusting amount of grilled cheese and egg salad sandwiches with very little else. But -- there's always something.

Indirectly, though, most of the stuff posted on Yahoo! Answers in the V&V section is unquestionably the weirdest I've ever heard. I had _no_ idea that so many people had so many weird ideas about it, or -- well, or so much time on their hands. "If I was going to shoot a chicken if you didn't eat an egg, would you eat the egg?" Oh, sheesh -- just choke the thing and get it over with...!

Answer 3

"You're a vegetarian? Does that mean you aren't going to eat your steak?"

Edit:

Last night at a meeting regarding starting a vegan food company I got served Tilapia! The potential investors had *NO* f'ing idea what a vegetarian eats!

Edit:

Aiming at Andie, Princess and Michael triggered a memory of an *evil* little prank I used to pull when much younger. There is a plastic chefs tool called a strawberry injector that is used for adding flavor to the hollow core of berries. (Pay attention Michael) I would 'inject' a small amount of cake frosting 'down there' before getting (urm) 'you know'. I got lots of "You taste like candy!" and would then explain "It's because I'm vegetarian". Needless to say as word spread I became a *lot* more popular and got a *lot* more of a certain act! I also had guys asking "How can I become a vegetarian".

Answer 4

first, dont make it a great deal. i went back to college a month in the past and the only people who be attentive to (like 2 human beings) are the human beings ive advised. no person else even is usual with and that i consume with them extensive-unfold. yet while human beings do malicious program you approximately it, then you definately are only protecting your selections and not preaching at them, and you have the main astounding to tell them why you're making that decision. there are some stable information like - meat produces extra greenhouse gases then all autos and planes mixed (stable for ecosystem) - you should tell them how inhumane slaughterhouses extremely are and in the event that they are extremely pushy you should instruct them the video "meat your meet" or "earthlings" the two that could nicely be got here upon on youtube. - only tell them its your decision- you enable them to make their selections, why cant you're making yours p.s.- it extremely is extremely helpful to to study approximately being a healthy vegetarian so yuo have an answer while they ask approximately protein and those form of issues.

Answer 5

"But don't you feel bad for the vegetables? They have feelings too"

While waving a bit of meat in front of my face- "Ooooh aren't you jealous? Don't you want some of this?" (um, no, if I did I could eat it, you know, it's a choice not a disease I've been inflicted with!)

"Don't you miss bacon?" (NO! Why are the British so obsessed with bacon?!)

Those are all fairly bog standard but the weirdest and most random question someone once asked me was whether I still, um... swallowed.

Answer 6

congratulations Daria, one of the few original questions we get here....and so far, not an insulter in sight !

"Vegetarian option, yes sure, we have fish, ok ?"

"I'm a vegetarian during the week, do you eat meat at the weekend ?"

me:"there is ham in my veggie pasta"
waiter "there is only a small amount, is there a problem sir ?"

"How can you eat eggs ? They are baby chickens you know."

"Is it OK if i put my bacon in this pan with your stuff ?"

"if you loved me you'd eat this for me" ( gammon i think )

"why aren't you sickly and pale ?"

"are all vegetarians this good in bed ?"

ok...so i made the last one up

Answer 7

same for me! Another was like like omg how do you flavor you food? I've never met a vegetarian before. You don't like to have a good steak once in awhile? How do you get your vitamins? Do you eat only vegetables? and so on!!!!! can you believe that ? Yep! I've been asked all of those.

Answer 8

OK loooong but true story.....

Without word of a lie this dude who is not on my team at work (the able bodied 'hot desk' in the civil service) was sat on our bank of desks Today. He asked me this " Andie if there was a holocaust, and all of the plants on Earth were contaminated would you eat meat?" After laughing my head off then pointing out that the animals would have eaten the contaminated plants. I then told him I would eat my own snots and ear wax and die happy when they ran out, a smug veggie to the last!!!

He asked me about seafood would you make an exception, I then said "well they aren't veggies, are they????"

He than ask me if I would eat bits of animals to survive, I pointed out that gradual mutilation of animals was just as bad as or worse than murdering them for food!!

I then asked (lets call him Paul) if he would eat meat if he had to kill it himself, to whit he replied " yeah, and I'd want to eat lots of it 'cause it's fresher isn't it?' I told him I wouldn't know.

He than slated my Religion and dissed Gay people. At this point,as I was staring at his pate I thought "OMG, I work with Fox hunter Guy aaaaaaargh! I know who he is!!!!! LOL!!!!"
EDIT
Just read Michael' H 's answer LOL!!! His last statement is actually true for me, my hubby asked me it when...well anyway....
Princess , your answer had me in giggles too!! That whole 'spit or swallow thing' sound s like an FHG question, "Do Vegans swallow, Do they think 'man milk' is vegetarian? Would they make an acception if I picked up a pale, fat, vegan hooker. If I gave her a large tip would she swallow?If I made her fried eggs in the morning and tidied up my trailer before hand!!??"
Just Read Greenghost's bit ha ha ha, where can we buy one of those gadgets from, hubby is VERY keen on trying that little trick out!!!

Answer 9

Any question asked by foxhunter_guy.

My nan asked my if I wanted a saveloy. I reminded her that I was veggie and her reply was "yes, I know, but these haven't got much meat in them." Bless.

I don't get why people have to justify themselves and apologise for eating meat when you tell them your veggie.

Answer 10

They made a joke saying " so if you're vegetarian, do you eat animal crackers". I laughed but was also annoyed.
