Today, I was eating Campbell's vegetable soup. Halfway through, I started to read the ingredients and found beef broth. I have been a vegetarian for seven years. FML

Sorry darling, but you ARE supposed to read the ingredients before you buy it. It's no different than if you were allergic to something. ALWAYS read the ingredients if you choose not to eat certain things or cannot, for the sake of your health.

most vegetarians look at the ingredients before eating the food...

If you pay someone to kill something, it's just the same as killing it yourself... like when you get charged with murder for hiring a hitman.

Do you mean someone? Because I'm really confused!

Don't beat yourself up over one slip up. That's a shame but it happens, you didn't choose to eat meat deliberately, it doesn't change your commitment to vegetarianism or all the animals you haven't eaten. It's all a learning process, just check the ingredients more carefully next time and research the sources. Yes you would not expect vegetable soup to have meat ingredients in but some companies put a lot of shit in their food. FYI orange tango is not vegetarian because they use gelatine in the colouring process and walkers cheese and onion crisps didn't used to be vegetarian because they used a cheese with non vegetarian rennet; usual source of rennet is stomach of slaughtered calves. Who would want to eat that?! There's lots of yummy food that is veggie, just check the ingredients carefully.

Don't ******* encourage the dumb arse. They chose vegan, they deserve it. Vegans and some vegitarians should ******* die.

Well that's too bad for you, because vegetarians live longer than do omnivores. (in general of course)

really? vegetarians are soooo laughable lol wait until ther crops burn and they starve.. even tho there are cows and chickens walking right in front of them,. gun in the house, knife in the kitchen, a stove with everything plus spices.. and they're boo hooing about killing something that's meant to be eaten..

And this is the first time it occurred to you to read a label?

OP, I'm a vegetarian too. One of the important tricks you learn is that "vegetable" is never the same thing as "vegetarian" when it comes to prepackaged or canned food. ALWAYS CHECK THE LABEL! They just really love to trip you up like that.

I hate people that say being a vegetarian is useless and that animals are 'meant' to be eaten and theres nothing we can do to help!! How would they know that maybe a person wants to be vegetarian because they can't stand the thought of eating another living being, you shouldn't think that animals are below you.

I hate people that say being a carnivore is useless and that plants are 'meant' to be eaten and theres nothing we can do to help!! How would they know that maybe a person wants to be carnivorous because they can't stand the thought of eating another living being, you shouldn't think that plants are below you.

If you never ate anything that was once alive you would die. Plants are living beings too, and although they can't feel 'pain' like we can, it's been proven that they can detect when something is harming them.

Oh noes! You're gonna lose your super powers like that vegan guy in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
