Vegetarian: it’s hard to be

It’s 2016, there are clown invasions, freak weather pattterns, questionable presidential candidates…you’d expect being vegetarian to be old news. Like the series Friends. But, it’s not. Meat-eaters are still shocked whenever they come across us vegetarians.

It normally goes in a couple of stages. First up, is the disbelief. “Meat is just so delicious.” “I couldn’t survive without meat.” “But WHY!” You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again. You know the act. Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

Then, step two. You’ve transformed before their eyes. They then look at you a bit strangely, like you’re suddenly someone that only wears hemp, uses vegetable oil as gas in your car, and carries a “fish are friends, not food” tote bag. (Basically, Phoebe.)

After that, with mustard dripping down their face from the Gamla Stan hotdog they just bit into, they will question you (yes you) about your health…”Is that even healthy?”

And then, as a final resort to question your eating habits, the meat-eater will swear off vegetarian food. “But it just doesn’t taste as good.”

I mean, we all know that it comes with the territory, and we’ll never be rid of those same questions. But what we can at least debunk is that vegetarian food is not only delicious, but also accessible.
