I have been a vegetarian all my life, and I am happy about it! My reason is not just because it's a family belief, but also because I am against eating slaughtered animals. Another reason is to be more healthy and fit. If there is something I dislike, it's the stupid comments made by some non-vegetarian people. Check out the list of things vegetarians get tired of hearing.

1. "You don't know what you're missing."
Nope, actually you don't know what you're missing

2. "Where do you get your proteins from?"
Um... You get protein from broccoli, too. Even dal, tofu and beans. You don't get proteins from just meat. Get your facts right!

3. "So, what do you eat? Salad?"
Salad is not the only thing vegetarians eat. There is pizza, roti, paneer, chocolate, etc.

4. "Is it OK if I eat meat in front of you?"
I am eating vegetarian food in front of you, did I ask for your permission?

5. "It's delicious. At least try it once!"
No thank you. Why don't you try what I am eating? Vegetarian food is delicious too!

6. "At least eat the gravy."
I can't eat non-veg just for the gravy.

7. "You know, this one time, even I didn't have meat for like a week!"
Congratulations!

8. "But the animal is already dead."
So what? It's still an animal!

9. "Do you like dairy products? They come from animals too!"
Oh really? I didn't know that! Why don't you go research about the difference between vegetarian and vegan? Then come and tell me this.

10. "Just take the chicken off the pizza and eat the rest of the slice."
Since there are vegetarian pizzas, why not just go for them?

11. "I will add meat to your food without asking."
You dare!

12. "What will you do if you get married to a non-vegetarian?"
I will just be romantic with my husband. We don't need food to come between our relationship.

13. "What would you do when you are stranded on an island?"
I'd rather starve and drink water than eat animals.

14. "Have you developed a laser-sharp vision to spot meat in food?"
What do you think?

And, last but, not least.

15. "You look so good for a vegetarian."
Oh please! Stop thinking that vegetarians are weak! At least we are healthy!

This is for all my vegetarian friends who also get asked these stupid questions. There is nothing wrong in being a vegetarian! I hope people understand that.
