> When I was in college, I worked in a laboratory with a vegetarian graduate

>

> At lunch, as he was quietly enjoying his meal, a co-worker often would

wave

> a hamburger inches from his face, saying, ``Mmmmm, meat! Are you sure you

> don't want some?''

>

> Reid would just say, ``No, thank you,'' and go on eating.

> Reid smiled serenely and said, ``Because it's slowly driving you crazy.''

>

> Turns out that wasn't just a case of isolated rudeness. Enough people

react

> that way to vegetarians that author Carol J. Adams has given them a name:

> " Thrusters.''

>

> Then there are the " Caring Saboteurs,'' like one vegetarian's father, who

> would hide meat in her food when she left the table. His motives were good

> -- he wanted his daughter to be healthy -- but his actions were rude.

>

> And let's not talk about the folks who love to argue that Hitler was a

> vegetarian, or the Thanksgiving turkey battles: " But it's traditional!''

>

> When people become vegetarians, they're sometimes surprised by the

hostility

> and demands to justify themselves that they encounter.

>

> So Adams, who has written several books on vegetarianism, has created a

> survival handbook, Living Among Meat Eaters.

>

> " You have to have a thick skin,'' she writes. " To most people, we are

still

> freaks.''

>

> The book celebrates self-sufficiency and the satisfaction of living by

> example.

>

> Vegetarians can do more good in the long run, and be more at peace, by:

>

> Not expecting others to provide food for them.

>

> Not being strident or self-righteous.

>

> Deflecting anger with soft answers.

>

> Eating delicious food in front of others to show that a life without meat

> can be abundant and tasty.

>

> The book will be published by Three Rivers Press in November -- just in

time

> for the turkey-heavy holiday season.

>

> When she turned vegetarian in the mid-1970s, Adams says, she answered the

> many questions she faced, until she realized that many people really

didn't

> want answers, they just wanted to argue.

>

> Finally, she decided that her mere presence as a vegetarian made some

people

> uncomfortable because it forced them to confront their own denial about

> meat-eating.

>

> " They're upset because a part of them knows you're right,'' she says. " If

> it's trivial, they wouldn't get this angry.''
