1. "Oh, you're vegetarian? You must eat so healthy!"
"Yeah, I really do."
2. "How do you get your protein?"
If I was given a dollar every time I heard that... you get the point.
3. "Meat is so good!"
So is alcohol, and that's vegetarian. Thanks for your opinion, Janet. Next.
4. You have convinced yourself that this is 100 percent an acceptable vegetarian meal.
So what if your 11-year-old cousin eats the same thing?
5. No, you do not eat chicken. That's still meat.
Sorry, grandma.
6. Yes, eggs are vegetarian.
"But it's basically chicken." No, it's not.
7. If you hear one more person talk about how much they love bacon...
Sorry, I'm going to have to skip the annual bacon festival.
8. When you're out of beans, veggie burgers, tofu, and other vegetarian specialties...
...Guess I'm eating pasta with red sauce for the fourth time this week.
9. Snacking on almonds to make up for your lack of protein but to also make you at least LOOK like you're healthy.
10 points if you're brave enough to get the unflavored kind.
10. Being dragged to a restaurant where a side salad is the only vegetarian option.
I love America.
11. When you discovered that McDonald's french fries aren't vegetarian and watched 99 percent of your late-night fast food escapades crumble away.
...I can still get McFlurries, right?
12. You're the first person everyone asks about kale.
AW KALE NAW.
13. You buy ramen and throw away the flavor packet.
It's vegetarian AND you're the epitome of health!
14. Pizza? Pizza.
♫♪"It's a love story, baby just say 'yes'." ♪♫
15. ...Now you're probably concerned about your weekly cheese pizza consumption.
Just kidding, pass me another slice.
16. Leaving your heavy meat-eating family, friends, etc. stumped when you come over for dinner.
"It's okay, I'll just eat the mashed potatoes."
17. Actually, you eat nothing but sides on Thanksgiving, and everyone gets annoyed when there are none left.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
18. You have way too many friends who have said, "Oh, I was only vegetarian for like, three days."
Why are all my friends so weak?
19. You've become the subject of many jokes.
...Vegans definitely have it worse, though.
20. "So, do you only eat like, rabbit food?"
You got me again, Janet.
21. Despite your flawed vegetarianism, you're still not eating meat.
Keep eating that tofu, pal.
