Humorous challenges of being vegetarian/vegan

[Guest guest]

This reminds me of last year. The guy next door was moving and his girfriend

was helping him. She was exhausted and I said I would make her a sandwich. She

said " that would be great, I'm vegetarian so if you have any turkey or chicken

bologna that would work fine " . Hahaha. She ended up with a tofu non- egg salad

sandwich and thought it was egg salad, I never bothered to explain the

ingredients. She ate it in seconds.

Humorous challenges of being vegetarian/vegan

 

 

My husband is a good friend of a vegan who attends an annual

conference with him each year. This year, the vegan went to the

vegetarian table for breakfast and found turkey bacon. He could not

convince them that turkey is not vegetarian. :-)

That didn't happen to be the Vegetarian expo here in Johnstown, PA did it? I

live right down the mountain from the college where it's held. It seems that

here in the mountains when you say you don't eat meat, that doesn't include

birds because that's fowl. I have one sweet time explaining that one! LOL

Turkey?

As in the bird, turkey?

That's an animal!

The way I see it, this is not a vegetarian food.

Unless you picked it from a tree, or it was planted in your garden, lol...

Yeah, I've heard something like that, too.  My DSIL (son-in -law)'s sister is

kind of a funny kid.  When our DD and DSIL got married, I saw " Kelly " at the

rehearsal dinner and heard some of her conversation, then again, at a

Thanksgiving meal with our family and son-in-law's family.  " Kelly " was telling

folks how she is a " vegetarian " ...but,  " ...Yes, I do eat chicken...just not

meat.... "   (I guess she thinks " chicken " is something that grows out of the

ground???)  People are kind of funny sometimes!

difference!)

That's a good one. Here's another one that I'm sure a lot of you have

gotten too. I'm new to FL and mostly know folks older than I am.

These are friends of my Mom and Dad's so I get invited to dinners all

the time. The grapevine has spread all over the town that I am a

vegetarian so they all cook me fish and am surprised when I don't eat

it. At least they tried!

My ex-boyfriend raised chickens in his yard (he lived way out in the country)

and tried convincing me that " chickens are dumb enough to be vegetables. "

 

When I tell people I'm allergic to eggs and probably can't have that brownie or

slice of cheesecake, I've had people tell me, " I'd kill myself! "   I reply that

miraculously, I've learned that life can be worth living despite this obstacle. 

Besides, I don't really like cheesecake.

 

And I still love when people ask me, " What do you *eat*? "   I eat lots of yummy

things, and I wear a size 16, which I would think proves that!  A related

question:  " Why aren't you skinny? "   Um, because there are lots of yummy things

in the world to eat that never had a face and I work a sedentary job?

 

Blessed be,

Jayelle

Yes, but some things are so obvious, how can someone mistake a bird for a

vegetable?

One just has to look at the word " vegetarian " to intuitively know it comes

from vegetable.

Not from fish, not from chicken, but from ve-ge-ta-ble

Btw, mushrooms are not vegetables, they have a kingdom of their own. Who

would have thunk

This is why it is so important to research things on your own. It would

clear up a lot of misinformation. If most of these people are getting this

information from someone else, then either the person telling it to them is

in error, or they mistook and misconstrued the information given to them.

It does happen, but I would think at some point a person would really

educate themselves about any life changing or altering diets or a way of

living. Maybe that is just me, but I couldn't do it without being better

informed and researching. I mean, a person would at least know how to

approach it from a healthful standpoint.
