1. "So like, you must really love vegetables, huh?"

Really? Just because you eat meat, doesn't mean you love meat, right? Or maybe, I'm a vegetarian not because I love vegetables, but because I hate meat.

2. "So, are you gonna like, lecture me on why I shouldn't eat meat?"

Sure. Because I know, whatever my answer is, it will not save me from your lecture on why I should eat meat.

3. "Are you one of those hipsters?"

When you drink Starbucks or shop at Whole Foods I don't ask you this, so why do I hear this so much?

4. "Is it okay if I eat this *point to random piece of meat their eating* in front of you?"

Honey. Yes, because I'm going to break out in tears or hives or whatever you think as soon as I see it. I've been living in the meat-eating world my whole life, so please, dine as you want.

"I tried to be vegetarian for a month, but I couldn't."

Usually followed by "meat is too good." Honestly, what am I supposed to say to this?

*looks disgusted at your vegetarian meat* "Are you actually gonna eat that?"

7. "Are salads all you eat?"

Salads and quinoa bowls. Of course.

8. "This *insert any meat* is so good. You should have some."

Kind of defeats the whole purpose, don't you think?

9. "Do you eat chicken? Beef? Bacon? *Insert every other meat*?

Vegetarian. No. Meat.

10. "Wow. It must be impossible for you to gain weight"

Oof. And definitely not true.

11. "As long as you aren't vegan"

Woah. If you've said that about vegans, you've obviously said that about us.
