Why is it that when people talk about McDonald’s burgers, chicken nuggets from Wendy’s, or Whoppers from Burger King, no one gives it a second thought? They are eager to express their love for the latest release of the quarter pounder burger, and their experience with the new Taco Bell breakfast. But, when people disclose that they don’t eat meat and would prefer a side salad, they get the side-eye and judgmental questions. There are many statements and questions that get old from our carnivore friends:
- Where do you get your protein?
- Aren’t you tired of eating lettuce?
- What is tofu?
- What is in tofurkey?
- Do you have an eating disorder?
- Why did God put animals on the planet, if he didn’t want us to eat them?
- If you love animals so much, why do you eat all of their food?
- Do you not eat eggs and cheese?
- Are those shoes leather?
- I would go vegetarian, but I would die without chicken, I don’t know how you do it.
- What’s the point of being vegetarian?
- Are you allergic to meat?
- What do you eat besides salad?
- It’s so hard to go out to dinner with a vegetarian, you guys are such pains in the a*s.
- Put extra meat on her plate (hahaha)
- Want a bite of my burger?
Carnivores: your jokes aren’t as funny as you think they are. We are not actually laughing with you, it is a mere pity laugh. Stop asking us if we want a bite of your bleeding burger, and we will stop daring you to try tofu.’
