No matter what your reason may be for going vegetarian, we all deal with the same annoyances on a daily basis. Between a piece of meat sneaking its way into your lunch to a long, heated debate with a carnivore, we've been through them all. They can be intolerable after a long day, but they're the struggles that come with vegetarianism — learning to embrace them is a part of the lifestyle.
