I just had to post something in response to these comments...

I am vegetarian. Not ALL vegetarians announce that they don't eat meat. I Became a vegetarian because I don't like to cook meat and considering how much I exercise, I needed to look into other alternatives for protein. It has nothing to do with ethics/animal-rights, and I have no issues with someone eating meat in my presence. However don't roll your eyes because I happen to really like tofu. Then again, I hate when what I am eating becomes a center for discussion. It makes me uncomfortable. But when you are the one passing up food in a group of people, you usually end up having some explaining to do.

Vegan living is a bit hardcore and maybe a bit unbalanced (as I see it). I have looked into it and its a bit out there for me. I have tried a lot of the food and it is pretty good. I am not going to stop wearing leather or wool or anything made with animal products. I don't have the time to research every thing I use. But Vegs aren't the only ppl who are annoying about food. What about those always talking about their newest diet?

If you come across an obnoxious Veg, tell them, "good for you that's your choice not mine". If they are trying to be discreet about not eating meat (that rhyme wan't on purpose) just leave them alone, they aren't hurting anyone. If you find something you like to eat go for it. Don't fault someone if they do or don't.
