Omnivores can be so very clever sometimes, can't they? The annoyingly obvious questions, the snide remarks... We all get them from time to time.
So, what has an omnivore said to you?

Before I was a vegetarian, a boyfriend said to me, "If you stop eating meat, I will break up with you." (And I became one anyway... and broke up with him.)
I also had a different date adamantly tell me (before he knew my food preferences) that female vegetarians hate giving oral sex because it's like eating sausage. Needless to say, I did not hook up with him.

Omnivores say this all the time:
"What can you eat? Chicken? no... ok how about fish? nope... umm, beef? What about pork?"
I have to respond with "I don't eat anything that breathes or has a face!" lol

To me, it's annoying when people bring out pseudo-science like the "top of the food chain" stuff or the "canine" teeth argument.
Good smack down responses to those dumb **** arguments are found at the link below because I am too lazy to type them here. :)

You could scroll through this forum and see plenty of stupid things omnivores say.
Do you eat animal crackers?
What DO you eat?
Animals don't feel pain.
Where do you get your protein?
And my favorite:
I'm a vegetarian and I eat fish & chicken.

Belive it or freaking not! I was eating boca spicy chik'n and some rice when this one guy at luch came up to me and said," what did the chicken say to the egg." I suppose he realized how dumb he just was so he left. I wanted to throw some rice at him but *shrugs* ehh.
