Fad/Trend?

rhapsody!

Do you think vegetarianism is becoming more of a trend than a personal choice?

Like the kids who claim themselves to be "emo" when they're not, because emos don't go round saying "I'm emo" they say "I'm not emo get a life".

Then the emo wannabees - they go off and join veggie bands and stuff, if you catch my drift lol, because it's the emo thing to do or something :S

So basically people are becoming vegetarians and not knowing what it comprises of, just to be unique, different, a rarity, whatever you may call it.

Does anyone else feel this way? :P

Nope. I've never heard of it as a trend and think it is generally undertaken as a personal choice or for health reasons.

Is that why your a vegetarian?
I don't really get emo. I thought it was about eyeliner.

I suppose in some cases, especially with kids, it would be a fad. They would be the kind of people who would still eat fish and chicken and wafer thin ham!

I don't get why people would become veggie just to be cool. I get ridiculed for it! People definately don't see me as cool cos I'm veggie!

Hmm, I do know a couple of...idiots, for want of a better word, who do the whole veggie thing as part of their general "anarchist" deal they have going. As in, "ooh I like the distillers as opposed to greenday coz that's how punk I am, I have my septum pierced, how do you like that society?". Apparently, being a fully paid up member of PETA is something of a pre-requisite of that particular scene, so yes, I guess vegetarianism is something of a fad in some circles.

For some it will be a fashion statement but a short lived one. My dad used to say it was a phase I was going through. He said that first in 1980.

Meh.
Who cares, the more the merrier. I can't stand the veggier than thou attitude.
