A vegetarian issue.....

Gosh I'm so busy these days.... I don't know what to do... its super to think that i'd be having ALOT of breathing time after this week....

but i did have some time to think of a little issue that I came across....

I'm a vegetarian.... I've been that for about 7-8 years now... Now I find that some people really have a problem wiht that... some of the people i work with has even developed some allergy sort of a thing towards the fact that i'm veg.. I really don't know what their problem is but I have to listen to there comments every now and then.... They've even fixed up a motto sort of a thing saying "Never trust a vegetarian" I don't know what there problem is..... or even see where and how I'm irritating them....

I'm wondering what u guys have to say about this?????

That's rather childish. I'm not a veg, although I'd like to be at some point in the future. I do admit it's a bit more hassle with vegetarians when it comes to planning a meal (if I ask a group of people around to my place for dinner, then it's a hassle to cook non-meat stuff when everyone else eats meat).

As long as you're not the preachy type that gives them grief for eating meat, I don't see why they should give you grief for not eating meat.

hmmm.... the vegetarian issue!!!!!! well what can i say well when it comes to a point where you have to pick something from your freinds lunch cause yours isnt good well isnt it a prob???? well thats my bigest problem to add to it

I had a friend who always used to say eat this and that and she used to say that vegetarians have good brains well I wouldnt argue the fact but I just have one small question though well why is it that when people do something stupid you shout at them refering to terms like GONNA BURUWA, HARAKA well question is if they eat so much green well where have their brains grown to well I asked this from her @$%#^

guess what she didnt talk to me for weeks cause you know what she her self is a vegetarian!@#%@%!^!&@

Darwin... what u say is true and trust me I never preach and I try my ultimate best to not to make my friend's lives miserable as it was my choice to become vegetarian and what others want to do with their meals is none of my business.. and I really don't have a prob with others being non veg....
But I do agree on the point whrere preparing meals and all that is an issue... which can be a hassle....

as for Mr. Bhathiya - dude... come on mate... I expect my readers to be a bit more smarter and with a bit more IQ!!! he eh eh... I mean.. who would compare a brain of a cow and a brain of a Human based on what they eat!! GOSH mate.. and pls don't forget that u drink cow's milk everyday... and will that make u a calf or something!!! he he he.. just kidding...
when u look at it.. sometimes animals makes better sense than humans...

hey...don't give a damn abt what other people say thax... Just be urself.. there's no problem in being a veg..in fact it's good to be veg.. i'd like to be one sometime..when i get my act and will power going..

like Darwin said, when it comes to friends getting together, it's a wee bit of a hassle to get something veg..coz majority is non-veg..

we used to have that prob bk in Uni on a group project.. coz one of the guys in the group was veg and when it came to meals, we always had to find something veg for him..

But hey, it's ur choice and u r living up to it..why on earth would it bother other people?? let them say anything.. as long as u r not forcing anyone to be like u, everything's ok.. so just forget it!

Hi D... and yeah... i really don't give a damn... Just thought I'd take it up for discussion.... and again i do agree... meals when ur with a bunch of people can be a hassle... like.. if i'm a around you just cannot got to KFC no matter how much u like it!!!
but then again... my close close friends never had a prob with that... they were always more than just happy to go to a place where they had decent veg food....

well Thacks I only have a problem with it when it comes to a point like I said!!!! hehehe
well the rest was just what was supposed to be a joke!!!! which
well you guys know what happened

if you want my real opinion well the truth is that I never care about what people think cause what people think is really their business cause if they want to waste sometime and energy thinking of other peoples business well its up to them to keep scratching other peoples ass!!!!!

so eat what you like sleep how you like drink what you like thats really your life !!!

Preachy vegetarians aren't that common but preachy vegans are common and they really, really piss me off...especially cos they claim to be so much healthier than the rest of us but they generally look like a weak wind could blow them over!

Thackshila said...

well N that is kinda true...

thats stupid to think you're special from the rest jsut because ur a Veg or a Vegan... i totally disagree with that.. and u being one doesnt mean that you have to pester others to follow you....

Well I am a Vegetarian as well. I have been all my life. Its sometimes difficult when people try to force u to try meat and then when u explain they misunderstand that u are being fussy. usually if i am going for a Barbeque (get real there is no vege stuff going to be there), i Have dinner and go cause thats easier for the host. Good friends always make sure to remember that u are a veg. But when I Had to travel To china about 9 years back when i said vegetables they would always serve it with meat (quick detox diet is to be vegetarian and travel China). Some of them really did not understand that u eat only vegetables and survive. I think presently, Being a vegetarian is fast catching up in Europe and all parts of the world. There is so much more choice unlike before. These jokes about u are a cow had to go through all that in school :).

Hey Fellow Veg.. well I agree on the more options around these days part.. and its getting better by the day... and Brabeques... he he he... no ther options than what u do... but some good nice people prepare something for the poor veg's... but its a hassle for them alright.. well from our point of view... most of them are happy do that for you...

aiyo yes men. these caring about what other people say really should be something we all can do without. this country is unfortunately not the only thing that is small...it's people are undoubtedly small minded!! and that's something we shall..sigh..have to live with..
being Veg is actually the healthier option. therefore my friend, care not what others say...bothering about it will in truth bother no one else but you..

Thackshila said...

agreed Shannon... agreed.... Thanks.. and I really don't care... you know that ;-) and talk about being small minded... sometimes i really don't know if they 're retarted or not... he he he...
All I wanted was a point of view of the others on this issue... and dude.. you know some of the buggers who says these stuff!!! i know that half of the time that they're kidding but inside them there must be something... i mean otherwise why/ why would they come up with it?? even as a joke!!!!

Thackshila said...

Thanks...

um... I am late for this conversation..I was going through your blog and found it and though its late, thought of commenting cz I am also a vegetarian and is going through the same probs... well I think the best to react is just smile and ignore what they say, cz its your life and believe me good friends will never laugh at u for being Veg... and they will always have something for you... again if there is no Veg stuff one can skip a meal if they want na? (well thats wat i do and believe donno how others will think :) )
