SST----good answer SST--LOL---maybe you and the asker can team up on The People's Court!
There is nothing you can say that won't make it worse. Just ignore them.
If it's here in V & V just give them a gutless, anonymous thumbs down like they do to me :-)

Hey, I share ur problem lol, well if u can call it that. Well, I am a Junior in High school and my friends like to joke around with me in the cafeteria lol. And I am a guy, so u can imagine its that much harder for me from all this macho guy must eat meat propaganda stuff, they respect me for it inside though, basically they try to make fun of you becuase they feel guilt inside for not being able to turn down muder becuase they are so dependent upon it. Don't take it close to heart I even laugh with them when they joke around about vegetarianism lol, they have settled down already though, see its getting old and now we have different conversations while I eat my murder-free lunch lol. Its great, dont get discourage, you will be glad you showed resiliance.

They're ignoramuses. Just tell them that, in the long run, while they're dealing with heart problems and clogged arteries, you'll be enjoying the fact that you've added about nine extra years to your life. But, on the other hand, I wouldn't worry about it too much. You just have to hold your head up high and ignore them because, if you want the hard reality, if life were to suddenly get fair, the absolutely last place it would happen in is school.

Well, if you're eating lunch just open your mouth and point to all the half-chewed food inside. Then ask "doesn't that look yummy?" They will either crack-up with laughter or think you're nuts and stay away from you. Either way you come out on top.

Well, any come back to something that idiotic would be playing down to their level. Most people don't understand it, and if you're in school kids will take any chance to make fun of something. Do your own thing, it's better for you, and I'm sure there are others in your school!

The tide is turning and people are eating better -- so first of all, you're the smart one. If you really do need a comeback, perhaps a good one is "I'm going to live longer than you."

Well...I'm a working adult and I worked with a woman who was very nasty and rude to me about it. I just IGNORED HER..I also tell people that I'm a vegetarian for health reasons and that it's totally a personal choice.
People get rude because they know it takes character to make those kinds of choices, so they get jealous and the way the deal with it is to harass a person, but trust me...they're just jealous.

Because being a vegetarian isn't very intelligent...There is an argument to be made that it is "caring", since you are not a participant in the rather brutal meat-farming industry, but from a biological common-sense perspective, vegetarianism make no sense.
Eat "free-range" meat instead. You'll be a whole lot healthier.
See those pointy teeth in your mouth? They're for ripping the flesh of lesser mammals!

If you comeback with smart answers to them, they will continue their harrassment. It is like training dogs.
When you answer back, (or pay attention to bad behavior in dogs) you are giving them positive feedback, or in other words, you are rewarding them for their nasty comments by responding.
Be gentle and kindly to them because they are just trying to get attention, and they don't know what they're talking about.

tell them you're sorry that they're so ignorant about vegetarianism, but when their fat *ss dies from diabetes complications and heart disease, you won't be the one who's sad.
Compliment their acne and the beef fat oozing from their pores.
Tell them they can eat a steroid-free diet if they wish, there's no need to make such a big deal of you for doing so.
