8 Situations Vegetarians Face, As Told By Gilmore Girls

I have been a vegetarian for the past five and a half years of my life. I have spent that time responding to countless questions and looks meat eaters have sent my direction. The only thing I've been doing longer? Watching Gilmore Girls.

My love for them began back in the mid-2000s when I stumbled upon their show. Since then my life has been filled with reruns and late nights. I feel as by now they know me just as well as I know them. With that being said, who better than these lovely women to portray my life on the daily as a vegetarian?

Here are the top 10 situations I face as a vegetarian and the responses I have to them.

1. That initial look people give me when they find out that I am a vegetarian

That gasp is only to be followed by an, "Are you really?"

My simple response:

I give that one word answer because I know there are going to be more questions to come.


2. When they ask, "So you only eat salads?" and they are being serious. My response . . .

Sometimes I just don't know.

My Second Response:

When I make it through the list of foods I can eat. Pastas, eggs, breads, anything not containing meat . . .

You can't forget pie!


3. When they mention how unhealthy it is to not eat meat

Oh, really? Maybe you should read up on your nutrition facts.


4. When someone knows what a vegetarian is without me having to explain it to them and they don't ask me any weird questions about my lifestyle

Seriously though, these individuals are the real MVP's.


5. That look everyone gives me at the table when they are eating meat in front of me

Don't give me that look, I'm totally fine with it! Believe it or not, I've seen a burger or two in my day. I don't expect everyone to become a vegetarian when they are around me.


6. When I am eating and someone shoves meat at my face

I have made the decision to be a vegetarian for a reason I consider to be very important and sentimental. With that being said, please do not shove a piece of meat at my face. I do not consider that gesture to be "funny."


7. When I go somewhere and there are absolutely no vegetarian options

Do they really have to add bacon to EVERYTHING? Even the ice cream shakes?


8. When my friend offers to order the veggie pizza so that we can share

I love you. I love you. I love you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
