Thanks Hippy! I was going to answer her but you did a better job!

What drives me crazy is when I say I am a vegetarian and people ask 'do you eat chicken?' UUURRGGGG for gawds sake it's meat!

Ok I am done:)

I don't like it when people ask why I am a vegetarian like it's something that needs to be justified or something. If it's out of curiosity that's fine but there are people out there atht actually get mad at people for being vegetarians. My response usually is to ask why they eat meat.

I did make one boo-boo up there though,should have said Ovo-lacto,which means you eat dairy and eggs.
There is a third type just lacto,who eat dairy,but not eggs.
And,Half we don't look down on people who eat meat at all!To most of us,I think,it's just a personal choice we have made for reasons of our own. We aren't all Peta!

Kaili, I would never question why someone does something that has nothing to do with me.

In my experience, I have heard so many misconceptions about what vegetarians DO and DON'T eat, that I thought I'd go straight to the sources and ask.

And by doing it here, I don't get the evil eye!! :)

Ed - scratch my first sentence. I shouldn't ever say never, but I really do try to make it a point not to question people on why they do things. Except DH, but that's another story, lol. I am guilty of asking questions to get a better understanding of things.

lol Hippy... I was wondering what 8 (octo) had to do with it..??

Twinkie- will this be the first grandchild for you?

The vegetarian thing- I don't eat animals that had eyeballs and brains and stuff and I don't eat eggs as eggs (I will eat stuff made with eggs but I couldn't sit down and eat one). I am not against dairy, but I do avoid it when possible. For instance, I buy soy milk and cheese but will eat the real stuff if nothing else is available. Not a big deal, but I would rather not eat those if I have a choice.

Moondance- I get that more with fish than with chicken. I guess fish don't count to some people. They count to me. I've never had fish in my life (this includes avoiding Chinese resturants that often use fish oil in cooking).

Halfunit- I hope you didn't think that was directed at you! I was talking in general when people do that. Some people get very defensive about being meat eaters when they are talking to vegetarians.

I have no problem with people eating meat. It just isn't my thing, ya know? I know some vegetarians get a superior attitude about it too- like Corey on Surreal life saying that the only good reason is for moral reasons. Personally, any reason is fine with me. If someone is a vegetarian I am just happy that they are for whatever reason they have. And if you aren't, that's fine too- you are in the vast majority :)

Opps,getting hot in here,lol! Kaili,I always say I don't eat anything that had a face.I also hate it when people ask me why,I never really mention it,I think it's a personal choice. Therefore when someone ask I feel it's nun-ya-busyness! My answer is usually,'It's a personal choice.'

Yippie for Grandma Twinkie!!!!!!
Congratualtions to all of you.
When my mother was about to become a grandma her girlfriend's advice was "Get used to sitting on the floor!" (a concept alien to most of her generation). So Twinkie, limber those joints and "upholster" that butt!
