Vegetarians are a pain to cook for at a BBQ
|
There is nothing worse than when a vegetarian, or worse still a vegan with holier-than-thou morals turns up to your BBQ. What on earth do you do to feed them? Do you source out some cardboard burgers or point them in the general direction of the salad bowl? What do you cook for the vegetarians who turn up to your BBQ? I know they think they’re being good and pure, not harming animals and being ultra civilized, but it’s just downright inconvenient for the rest of us who have to cater for them and put up with their snide comments; wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t for the attitude. Us meat eaters normally tend to hang out with fellow carnivores, but somehow or other when it comes to a social gathering you’ll occasionally get a veggie with chip on their shoulder. A chip that must not have been cooked in animal fat I hasten to add! | |

They’ll try to convert the meat eating hordes to their way of thinking. Eating meat is bad. It’s not healthy and think about the cruelty and suffering to the animal. What’s the matter with them? Have they looked at their teeth lately? Those pointy ones might be a bit of a clue, because I don’t think the thousands of years of evolution were for nothing! To hell with them I say, when in Rome do as the Romans do. If you don’t like sausages I'm not going to force you to eat them, you can feast on the cheese roles and salad for all I care. You don’t have to eat meat, but if I want to partake of dead flesh then I will and what’s more I will enjoy it. |

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not setting out to deliberately offend vegetarians. After all, one man’s meat is another man’s poison or so they say. It’s the ones that don’t respect my opinion and criticise the fact that I eat meat that I have a problem with. |

I know two sisters, one of whom has been quietly vegan for twenty years; the other, normally a meat eater, became vegan for all of three weeks in which time she annoyed everyone by calling their meals "corpse and two veg". After that she went back to eating bacon butties.
Starfish,
Someone can be a vegan but eat nothing but chips, fried food and cake! Many vegans that I know chose the diet more for what they believed were health benefits to them though and not for ethical reasons.
You can eat a healthy diet as a meat eater, vegetarian or vegan. I try to follow the 80/20 rule. 80% healthy choices, the other 20%, whatever I like. It seems to work for me.
And for all those people who say they've never known a militant, judgemental vegan, they are out there, here's one bit of evidence:

I've met a few vegetarians who don't take the holier than thou attitude with meat eaters, but they are few and far between. No problems with Vegan though, they don't have the energy :-)
Vegan is quite a different story, far more difficult to cope with, they can't even eat things like fresh pasta, which have egg products in them, and some claim this is for 'a healthy life style', but I have one vegan friend who drinks alcohol (a lot) and smokes. To me this is hypocrisy.
I do find it annoying having a few vegetarian friends that won't eat anything cooked in animal fat or whatever because I do eat things if they've been cooked in animal fat or whatever if I really HAVE to.
If you encounter vegetarians at barbeques, then cook quorn burgers, salad or pasta in a vinegary sauce. Sandwiches even can work.
As a sort of vegetarian I will sometimes have a bowl of porridge before going out so I can live safely off cheese and salad and bread. My resaon for not eating meat is that it is full of garbage these days, anti-biotics etc and it literally makes me sick. Free range, organic, matured Scottish Angus is fine, no problems at all.

It's up to the individual about the choice of diet or the lifestyle they lead, not everyone elses.
My view is that vegetarians are in the right by not eating meat.
