Whether you’re vegan for health reasons, for the environment, for the animals, or for all three of the above, us vegans all share a common bond. Every time you drop the V bomb, there will always be without a doubt the one person that will come at you with the typical and ever so tiresome questions. We all know that vegans typically have a healthy lifestyle that comes with a lot of benefits like being happier, being at lower risk of heart problems, being at lower risk of high blood sugar, and living longer lives! It’s fine to explain your moral beliefs and your diet every once in a while to someone that’s interested but we all know it’s those annoying questions about protein and how we’re actually helping animals that gets annoying; here are 30 things vegans are tired of hearing accompanied by our internal thoughts when hearing them:
1. How do you get any protein?
Oh, you know, just from every other plant based food that has it.
2.Technically plants are living things and you’re killing a bunch of them.
Technically, I think this conversation is over.
3.There are too many chickens in the world any way.
Just smile and nod, smile and nod.
4. So what do you eat at restaurants?
Well, I tend to typically go with the food.
5. Do you mind if I eat this steak in front of you?
No one’s stopping you??
6. Wow, I feel bad for you.
I will have you know this was my personal decision… it was not forced on me.
7. What do you eat then?
Once again, food.
8. I thought about being vegan but I don’t like salad.
The last time I had a salad was probably three or four months ago.
9. So...you still eat fish, right?
*face palm*
10.You must have a protein deficiency then.
Nope, my blood work says otherwise.
11. Vegans are crazy.
Thanks for the generalization.
12. What if you crave meat when you are pregnant?
Why is this concerning you?
13. I feel like vegan food is weird.
To each their own when it comes to fake meat and cheese, but I’m pretty sure there’s nothing weird about fruit, vegetables, beans, rice, etc.
14. What if someone gave you a million dollars, would you eat a piece of meat?
Please stop talking.
15. HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT BACON?!
We get it, you’re one of those people that lets everyone know they love meat.
16. I made you a salad.
Wow, how thoughtful of you…..
17.You want a piece? *waves burger in face*
Unless you want that burger somewhere it shouldn’t be, I would stop.
18. Do you get enough calcium?
There are things with more calcium than milk.
19. Why are you vegan?
Well, mainly ethical reasons, but I also-
20. STOP THROWING YOUR BELIEFS ONTO ME PLEASE. YOU’RE NOT BETTER THAN ME JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T EAT MEAT!
Ok.
21. I tried to be vegan once… couldn’t do it.
The only thing standing between you and veganism is yourself…
22. Wouldn’t a cow explode if you stopped milking it?
I’ll find a YouTube video to explain why that’s very incorrect, hold on.
23.You’re still a vegan?
This isn’t a phase people.
24.How do you eat that rabbit food?
Well...since I’m a human, I don’t.
25.Tofu is disgusting!
So is your dead carcass, but...
26.Can’t you just take the meat out?
Are you kidding me?
27. Hitler was a vegan.
First of all, he was not. Second of all, what does this even correlate to??
28. Don’t tell me, I don’t wanna know! I don’t want to watch Cowspiracy!
Some people can’t handle the truth and would rather be ignorant.
29. I can’t afford to be vegan.
Do you know how cheap a bag of rice is?
30. It doesn’t worry you to not get enough protein?
Ask me one more time about protein, go ahead.
