Today, my landlady roasted a joint of beef and the whole house smelled wonderful. OK, even if I am a masochistic vegetarian and former omnivore, that was way beyond cruel. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a barbecue joint opened near my apartment, close enough that I can smell the kitchen exhaust. I'm a vegan activist, so smelling animals being burned is a serious trauma for me. Now I either have to either move or constantly feel sick and depressed. FML
Today, I drove past a fragrant steakhouse and my mouth began to water and my stomach started rumbling, which would've been perfectly fine if it wasn't for the fact that I'm a vegan and an animal lover. My confused body craves burning flesh. FML
Today, my vegetarian housemate cleaned the fridge. He threw away all of the meat in our fridge and made a nice sign stating "Meat is Murder". I was storing roughly $1000 worth of filet mignon steaks and seafood for my sister's wedding. FML
Today, after having been a vegetarian for 8 years because I'm opposed to cruelty to animals, I lost a bet and had to eat a whole cheeseburger. I loved it. FML
Today, I moved in with my new roommate. She's a vegetarian, and won't let me put my meat in the fridge because it will "contaminate her food". FML
Today, surprisingly, my roommate made a nice meal. Within an hour, I started throwing up. When I confronted her, she confessed that she'd used long expired ingredients, including meat, because she didn't want the garbage men to think she's "the type that wastes food." FML
Today, my roommate decided to go vegan and threw all of MY meats, cheeses, chocolates and even beans for some reason in the trash, because he "doesn't need that kind of toxic waste" in his life. FML
Today, my family dragged me to a steakhouse, knowing full well I'm vegan. I sat there, with my sad little salad, watching as they stuffed themselves with burned animal flesh and laughed at me. They wonder why I hate them all. FML
Today, after my roommate decided to become a vegetarian, her new food choices are making her pass deadly, nauseating gas all night. We have a busted window that won't open. I'm afraid I may not live to see tomorrow morning. FML
Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So did you give in and ask her if you can enjoy a scrumptious slab of meat?

If you're so happy being a vegetarian, why do you crave meat still?

Don't expect people to change their eating habits just to suit you. I'm a vegetarian as well, and the ones who expect everyone else to stop eating meat too make all of us look like self righteous/self centered jerks.

Just eat meat like you're supposed to. You'll feel a whole lot better and be a whole lot healthier. The reason animals were put on this planet is for our use and that includes consumption.

Really? Eat a Panda, or a koala bear. Oooh, let's go eat Lions since it's food. Yummy.

Lion and koala are supposed to be pretty good actually. My dad's had koala and said it was really good. Seriously it's all meat. Just eat it.

I would have been able to try Lion last year. But the shop in California that I was going to order the meat from got so much bad press, they had to cancel their lion meat sale. :( I wanted to know what a predator tastes like... Koala's are scary, I will let them be.

Oh no, here comes the idiotic "anti-vegetarian, natural to eat meat, eat meat hippie" comments. I predict closing the comments to the public due to an idiocy reactor leak.

It's really dependent on the reason for me. I love meat, but I'm *not* gonna judge if you're a vegetarian. Yes, you CAN get the same nutrition from being vegetarian, but its a lot less pleasant. If you don't eat meat for health reasons, or industry level meat due to animal cruelty, that's ok. But if you honestly think eating other animals is wrong or unethical, you're getting a high five to the face from me

The real problem is when vegetarians think that everyone who eats meat is doing it just to piss them off. That seems to be the OP's view, since she thinks her landlady is being "cruel" just for eating meat where she can smell it. Here's a tip, OP: Do your thing and let others do theirs. It's not always all about you.

Where's the idiocy in doing what we're designed to do? Personally I think being a vegetarian is stupid but if people want to do it then great, do it, but you're going to die either way. ...This is in response to 47. It got posted in the wrong place. Sorry guys.
THE_A_TEEN 28
My comment was towards the idiots who will post blantant false information about vegetarianism, and stupid shit concerning people who choose that lifstyle. Don't get me wrong, I am not in favor for the extremists of vegetarians, only the sane ones. ...and yes, i'm an omnivore.

Humans are naturally omnivores, but people who become vegetarians have their reasons. "to save cows" I think is a very stupid reason because they were put on this earth to be eatten, just like many other animals (o course they do have their other purposes as well but all animals get eatten, either by humans or other animals, and you can't stop animals most of them would die without this diet, why should people stop when it's in our DNA to be meat eaters as well?) the only reason I've found acceptable for becoming vegitarian is for some health realated issue where meat is really bad to eat.. Dunno what it's called, but my aunt has it.
