Why are vegetarians so prejudice when you eat meat?

Question

Whenever I eat meat around vegans or vegetarians, they always give me a bad look as if I'm doing something wrong.
I know they don't believe in eating meat or that crap, but their kind of irritated.
I should look at THEM when they don't eat meat and see themselves turn anorexic.
I'm sorry but theres just no point in being a vegetarian or vegan.
Its not healthy.

I'm sorry about the Not healthy part.
It may be healthy at some times but sometimes it can be not healthy at all.

And cannibalism is way different then eating chicken or anything like that. No, I am not fat believe it or not.

Animals aren't always abused when they are slaughtered.

Just the fact that not eating meat is just not right. God ate meat and I think humans where made to eat meat.

Answer 1

I think it's bad manners frankly. Whether someone eats meat or not is either a personal or religious choice.

I have made the choice not to eat meat but I would not think to impose that action on others except in time of famine (since to produce a good meat producing cow or pig uses nearly as much as ten people could eat in the way of calories).

Vegetarianism and vegan eating both require a higher degree of attention with respect to what we eat, however it can be said that once this is done, things are reasonably healthy.

That not withstanding as far as healthiness is concerned, While in theory chicken and fish are reasonably healthy other meats are not necessarily as healthy.

Additionally, the production of meat is NOT healthy or even sanitary.

For my money, this drove it home.

Answer 2

Do a little research on the internet. Don't go to sites like PETA, I think you would have a hard time believing the animal cruelty going on in the meat industry. Vegetarians aren't anorexic, by definition anorexia is the unwillingness to eat. Most vegetarians I know eat more than meat eaters do. How is it not healthy? Lower cholesterol, we get all the (good, not trans) fats and protein from nuts and seeds, there are soy meat substitues and tofu for protein, also. Ever since I became vegetarian (not that long ago, about a month) I've had a great increase in energy, I don't get angry like I used to, no more headaches, I sleep better at night, and dont get tired in the middle of the day.

Just do some research before being so closed minded. I listed a couple links

Wait...I'm sorry...did you just post "God ate meat"...?

Vegetarianism is unhealthy when the person doesn't know what nutrients they need to eat. Yes, I have seen unhealthy Vegs, but all they would eat was potatoes and such, never any nuts.

Not every animal is slaughtered in an inhumane way, but how can you really tell which ones don't, unless you buy your meat from a local farmer who you can inspect yourself?

Now, if you kill your own meat, good for you. That's great.

I don't think it is a matter of which diet is better as it is a matter of personal character. Some vegans/vegetarians will be rude, some will more polite and some will simply not give a damn. And that goes for non vegans/vegetarians too. Just look at the responses here. Some vegans/vegetarians offer simple direct answes while some would rather be rude and crude. Same goes for the "other side". Diet and health are personal choices and it's just plain bad manners to bad mouth one in favor on another. Each one has a ligitimate claim and perhaps it does work for some while it does not work for others. If you want to be a vegan/vegeetarian then fine do so. but don't be so crass as to say "eating pus, blood sh*T" etc do defend your lifestyle choice. That speaks more of your lack of proper manners rather than the benifits of your diet. Vegans are not also "pointless and anorexic". In the end, it is all a matter of choice. Live and let live.

Answer 4

I don't look at meat eaters as if they're doing something wrong! I keep my thoughts to myself. And just to point out, being a vegetarian or vegan doesn't make you an anorexic. And it can be quite healthy, research has proven that becoming a vegetarian or vegan lowers your cholesterol if you follow a healthy diet with meat replacements.

Answer 5

I am a vegetarian, and those of us who look at others funny really have no right to do that. It's a choice, and I'm sorry you have friends like that.

I have the other side of the story, a lot of my friends appologize for eating meat in front of me, or around me, and I have to tell them it's really okay and it doesn't bother me unless I have to eat it.

I love animals, and the thought of killing them and eating them makes me really sad. That may sound crazy to you, but that's how I view things on life. I eat a LOT of other crap though :) So that makes it so I won't be anorexic. Though a lot of us are very very thin, myself included, things like cake and candy and carbs, and junk are not offlimits, so plenty of vegetarains could be fat.

A lot of girls, however, hide anorexia by saying they're vegetarian, and then going over the top with it, and that's how you know they're only "vegetarian" if that makes sense.

If you know how to substitute good foods into your diet and take the right vitamins, vegetarianism can be very healthy, it's just a matter of not being lazy!!! :-D

I hope some of your vegatarian friends get those sticks out of their butts and start letting you eat what you want to eat because it doesn't affect them. No matter how many people are vegetairans (unless it's like the entire population) animals will still be killed in order to be eaten, so no offense fellow vegetarians, but we can't stop that practice!!!

If it really bothers you, don't eat with him, or hold your evil eye back. Let this guy eat what he wants to eat!

Answer 6

If somebody did something that is bothersome to you, why don't you confront them directly?

You are talking about "prejudice" and then you turn around and display your own prejudice--other people's beliefs are "crap", "no point", and vegetarianism is "unhealthy" and "anorexic." My wife has a Masters Degree in nutrition, I'm guessing you probably don't. You are talking like all vegetarians think and act alike; which is also very prejudicial. I don't care what you say is in the Bible; prejudiced people have been using religion as an excuse to justify their prejudice for centuries.

I don't have the time to make an issue every time somebody gives me a "bad look." I don't give a damn what you eat as long as you leave me alone. If you don't like what some people do, stay away from those people. End of story.

Answer 7

Don't kid yourself, you don't know jack sh*t about being vegetarian and I doubt that you know any in real life.

You used god to prove your point, therefore you have no point.

Eat whatever the hell you want and if anyone bugs you while you are eating, tell them to shove it and tell them that they are just making veg people look bad when they try to make people feel uncomfortable.

This doesn't mean that I'd ever tell you that eating it is right.

Hate to burst your bubble but vegetarians are slightly more likely to be healthy people, but I'm not going to tell you that eating meat at all makes you sick so don't try to act like you know what's healthy and what's not.

Answer 8

once I say that i do no longer choose somebody, what I recommend is that i do no longer attack and condemn human beings for thinking in a different way from me. As a ethical vegetarian, I needless to say disagree with somebody who eats meat. that's my suitable, and that's the beef-eater's suitable to disagree with me. I choose to maintain quiet approximately being a vegetarian. It needless to say makes some human beings uncomfortable because of the fact they anticipate i'm judging them. yet you already know what? that's THEM passing a judgment on ME. They anticipate i think of i'm extra suitable or that i'm looking down on them because of the fact I have been given chickpeas on my salad rather of fowl. that's not actual, and that's not effortless. So the judging can go the two procedures. sure - I disagree with the call to consume meat. as a result I disagree with my finished kin, maximum of my acquaintances, and my boyfriend and his kin. I additionally do no longer ascribe to an identical religious ideals as lots of my acquaintances. Does that recommend i think of they are dumb, inferior or loopy because of the fact i do no longer think what they do? of direction no longer. I nonetheless think of they are spectacular human beings. I additionally ate meat for many of my life, and that i do no longer think of i replaced right into a undesirable person while i replaced into ingesting it. I only observed issues in a different way than I do now. There ought to be some religions interior the international you disagree with, suitable? Or political events? Does that recommend you think of silent recommendations of disdain on the subject of the members of those communities every time you have an interplay with one? perhaps for some human beings it does, yet for me - and maximum vegetarians i understand - it would not.

Answer 9

not all vegetarian/vegans are angry when people around them eat meat- though some are- and though going veg/vegan can make someone lose a little( or alot) of weight, they can also gain weight from all the pasta they can eat... alot of people go veg/vegan for health reasons, or because they find eating an animal disgusting( the reason i went veg)... and on the 'not healthy' part of the question, it can either be healthy or not, depending on the persons diet and if they can- or do- get all the nutrients they need

Answer 10

I'm sure you interact with so many vegetarians on a daily basis that this is a common occurrence.
Guess what... we don't give a **** if you think it's unhealthy. You're not the one eating this way, we are.

Also, it's clear that you aren't actually asking a question or speaking from experience, but instead just ranting.
