What NOT to say to a vegetarian
Added: (Wed Mar 22 2006)
VeggieRomance.com, the UK's leading dating site for vegans & vegetarians reveals the most common (and irritating!) comments encountered by vegetarians. After surveying its members, VeggieRomance.com has compiled the top five comments most likely to get a veggie's goat....
1) What do you eat?
2) How do you get your protein?
3) You're a veggie? Me too... apart from chicken... and fish... but they don't count.
4) You must miss / be tempted by a bacon sandwich?
5) You don't look like a vegetarian.
6) If it weren't for us (carnivores) there wouldn't be any animals.
7) I'm not, but I could never eat a dog or a horse, don't you think that's horrible?
8) Don't worry, you'll grow out of it.
9) Why do you feel the need to tell me, I don't make a point of telling people I eat meat... (having just served a vegetarian meat or suggested a restaurant with no veggie options).
10) Why?
The comment that perhaps ought to be there but isn't yet.... "Hi, I'm Gordon Ramsay".
