It's not a phase, mom!

Today, my parents made me a steak dinner to celebrate me visiting home from college. I've been a vegetarian for eleven years. This is the third time they've done this. FML

Hmm...just a thought, but I don't think this was posted as a for/against debate. My guess is that the OP was just upset about the fact that this dinner, prepared FOR her, was full of food she has refused to eat for a long time. It sounds like the parents are one way and so they think their offspring should be the same. It's no different than if the OP was lesbian and when she got home they had the hot new neighbor guy over and tried to hook them up. I'm guessing that would give some laughs, but many more arguments that it was wrong. The fact is, the OP chose a certain lifestyle and the parents not only ignored it but tried to force their own lifestyle on her. Cut her some slack, once again...this dinner was supposed to be a "welcome home" meal.

somebody doesn't want you to be a vegitarian

maybe they are trying to make the point that everyone who is a vegitareian is a pussy. we have various types of teeth for a reason

now i am all for my broccoli and carrots and the occasional tomato but look your parent's obviously did this three times because they like anybody else knows that you cannot strive off of vegetables alone

I have to say, I admire all of the vegetarians on here for their self-control. I went vegetarian for a week and though I was feeling better about it... I wound up dropping off the band wagon. There is nothing wrong or unnatural about vegetarianism, and there is nothing wrong with enjoying meat. Also, to those who point out that we have various teeth for a reason, it is so we CAN choose what we eat. We aren't stuck with only being able to live off one or the other.

maybe they're hoping you'll give in one day

FYL for denying yourself meat. I we weren't supposed to eat it we wouldn't hVe the enzymes to break it down. go get a burger and be happy

I thumbed down any comments that said it was stupid to eat meat. I thumbed down any comments that said it was stupid not to eat meat. Because what's really stupid is judging people for any reason other than character.

some people here seem to agree with your parrents? maybe they posted some of this stuff, anyway, sucks to be you, but kudo's on the being veggie,
