I am surprised that most people fail to grasp the word vegetarian. I have been, by choice, a vegetarian for most of my life and have not had an urge to eat meat at all. I am always asked annoying questions whenever I tell people that I am a vegetarian. Some really clueless think vegetarians eat grass and leaves. A few others think vegetarians are always sick. A few more sophisticated think vegetarians don’t care about taste. Anyway here are top 10 annoying questions people have asked me when I told them that I am a vegetarian:
- So where do you get your proteins from?
- So where do you get your vitamins from?
- Do you eat fish?
- Do you eat chicken?
- So you just eat vegetables?
- So what do you eat?
- Are you ill?
- So you are not a Christian?
- So you don’t like animals?
And my personal favourite
- Oh! So you eat Halal meat then?

Lol! People in the east coast in the US tend to believe that vegetarians survive on salad with lots of lettuce!! I guess there is more awareness nowadays…
