Basically, I'm not a self righteous ass-hole about it. Also, I don't look like what most people think a vegetarian should look like since I lift weights about 5-6 days a week.
As for PETA, I understand why they do what they do but some of those people obviously get carried away. But you could say that about any cause.

I agree. I have been a vegetarian for years also and I am concerned about what I eat and that's it. Some of my friends are curious about the benfits or disadvanatages ands we have had answered their questions.
My 17 year old daughter became a vegetarian of her own choice (she lives with her Mum and Step Dad). First he verbally attacked me about not eating meat, and then verbally attacked my daughter and ridicule vegetarians to the point where my daughter was in tears and could not eat her dinner. He then commented he would eat meat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if he could. That's the sort of ignoramus unbalanced and aggressive monotone that is uncalled for.
FYI: My son is not a vegetarian and I respect his choices and love him for who he is!
Why do some meat eaters such as him feel the need to attack their own step children for being Vegetarians? Accept the choices your friends, family and loved ones make. It's their choice what they eat, it's their body, and their consequence.
Whether you eat meat or don't. Each to their own
