Are they people who only eat thin slices of ham?

How do you know someone is a vegan?

Don't worry, they'll tell you.

I'm eating a juicy steak.

F**k you vegans

If someone genuinely believes that killing and eating animals is murder, and thus an immoral act, then I can understand why they would want to "bang on about it".

But while we're here. I've been vegetarian for about 35 years. I've never, ever thought it was "trendy"

Not all vegetarians do it for some moral reason. My girlfriend gets ill when she eats red meat and poultry so had to become a vegetarian.

She does still eat fish from time to time though.

The only people I ever hear banging on about vegetarians and vegans are defensive omnivores.

No, it's annoying and awkward.

Having to cook extra for the people who don't eat meat... ughhhhh!

I don't invite veggies for dinner anymore.

Why would you have to cook extra?
Do your meat eating friends not eat vegetables as well?

Holsten

I mean having to cook an entire separate dish.

If your in my house, and I'm cooking I always do a vegetarian option as well. Last time it was cornflakes.

I think I could become a vegetarian, I have toyed with the idea.
However veganism is just too much, or too little!

Veganism is a massively healthy eating meal plan to follow once you supplement with a good multi vitamin and get your protein in.
I am currently turning to a vegetarian diet with the eventual goal of becoming a vegan
Yes I am doing it because I believe we do not need to kill animals to eat,I will be doimg the earth a favour and my body a massive favor.
It is not easy at all to change to this diet primarily because if you are not prepared a day in advance its so difficult to find decent options when eating out or in a takeaway.
I wont be shouting about it as I used to enjoy meat but its just not for me anymore.

What about the sheep, cattle, venison, pigs, turkeys, chickens etc: if we all went vegan tomorrow we'd need their pastures and pens to use for arable land in order to feed us all. There'd be no profit in rearing animals. There'd be golden waves of gm rapeseed for as far as the eye could see.

I'm very firmly on the side of ethical omivore. No Soylent Green in my universe, please.

A selection Box and trifle...maybe a glass of water to wash it down

I find it hilarious that you would ask that question. What do I eat every other day of the year?
This year I'm making butternut squash roast. Its got potatoes, chickpeas, pine nuts and caramelised onions.Served with a port and cranberry jus.

..and yes, I will be cooking turkey for my son and hubby, though we don't always go the traditional route. Last year we had an Indian theme. The year before it was Scottish.

I'm a level 7 vegan, I don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

Gran Hermano

Show me a man who calls himself a Vegan,

and I'll show you a man who's trying to shag a Vegan.

OneArt

I don't eat anything, I just absorb the nutrients with my hands and leave the waste. So basically I go up to animals and turn them into poo.

She's not a vegetarian if she eats fish.

I think I'd eat Human flesh, just to try it. It would have to be ethically sourced though. I suppose it would have to be organic too, I wouldn't like to eat Human that's loaded up with processed foodstuffs. I guess a raw food vegan would be the best Human to eat.

Ha Ha brilliant

"I didnt climb to the top of the food chain to eat plants"

Add my own personal one "I like eating meat"

Bit off topic but I think most people definitely eat too much meat healthwise, I am trying to cut down but I have no interest in becoming vegetarian as I have no moral issues with eating animals and they are so damn tasty.

I have no problem with vegetarians or vegans either and I dont think I have ever met a "preachy" one in person. In fact I usually am surprised when someone I know reveals they are vegetarian because I would not have noticed.

I hear more people suggesting vegetarians are weak and look sick a hell of a lot more than I hear vegetarians just out of the blue say they are one. I think people also say that vegans are always going on about it as usually when vegetarian celebrity is on a chat show or whatever, they will get asked about their diet and so then get accused of "banging on" about as other celebs don't tend to discuss what they eat on chat shows and so it sticks out.

The whole weak and pale thing is bullshit though. It's such a myth that vegans are weak and sick all the time. Any I know are never bloody sick and seem to never get flus or colds near as much as the rest of us.

Famous vegans some to look great to me and can't think of one who doesn't perfectly healthy: Samuel L Jackson, Anne Hathaway, Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck, Tobey Maguire, Kristen Bell, Pamela Anderson, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow and her man bitch Chris Martin Paul McCartney, Christie Brinkley, Russell Brand, Kate Winslet, Kristen Wiig, Olivia Wilde, Natalie Portman, Eva Mendes, Brad Pitt, Hayden Panettiere, Woody Harrelson, Christian Bale, Anthony Kiedis etc etc etc.

As for weakness, UFC Mac Danzig dispels that myth quite well all on his own:
