There are some omnivores that should stop being rude to vegetarians.
Being a vegetarian is a personal choice, most people make that choice for health reasons or for the pure understanding that eating sick processed animals is harmful and cruel not only to the animals but to themselves.
When people make this choice most of them do not force their decision not to eat meat on those people that continue to do so. Understanding this, it boggles my mind that at the dinner table, or when vegetarians go to restaurants, omnivores stick pieces of steak and chicken in our faces and say, “Mmm meat, you’re really missing out!”
Shoving a dead cooked carcass into our faces is not tempting us to eat meat again; it probably makes most of our stomachs uneasy, and it’s just not appropriate. It’s not hurting anyone that some people choose to not eat meat. According to Vrg.com, the vegetarian resource group, “We can extrapolate to say there are about 4.8 million non-institutionalized vegetarian adults in the United States.”
That’s a lot of people that don’t eat meat and not all of us are shoving our vegetables into their faces so, think about what you are doing before you actually do it. To help those that do eat meat, vegetarians are those people that refrain from eating meat products, beef, pork, poultry, and fish. Then, there are vegetarians that totally refrain from all meat and animal products and they are called vegans. So please don’t shove your forks into our faces and give us a hard time about not wanting to eat what you eat.
Vegetarians know what meat smells like and most of us know what it tastes like. They know where it comes from and they’ve seen what has happened to some of those poor animals. It’s hard enough to even find a restaurant that has vegetarian options besides the house salad and fries on pretty much every menu. So they have enough trouble on a daily basis, just let vegetarians be.
