Yes, I'm vegetarian. I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian to be exact. For those of you less familiar with the terms used to describe dietary requirements I do not eat any product that has the death of an animal as a result. This includes things like steak, chicken nuggets and fish fingers but also things like Gelatine and Rennet. Which unfortunately rules out a hell of a lot of things like lollies, regular cheese and heaps of tasty things you would never think contained meat. So yeah, it sucks.

Now all that notwithstanding one of the things that I find really annoying is the fact that out of every four people who find out, three feel the need to tell me why it is stupid, unnecessary and all my fault. I'm never really sure what is my fault, but what ever it is I'm to blame apparently. Really people, I've been veggo for more than five years, in all that time do you not think that if there was an argument against it that would change my mind, some annoying narrow-minded wanker other than you will have brought it to my attention? No, well then go ahead Einstein, wow me with your entirely new argument.

So seriously people, next time you meet a veggo, try finding out why they made that choice instead of attempting to prove them wrong.

And you know what? If that’s too much for you? Try just accepting it. Some of us crazy tree-hugging hippies are actually pretty fun people.
