Today, while he was eating chicken, one of my friends asked me why I'm a vegetarian. I responded that I believe in animal rights and don't like the conditions the animals are forced to live in. He looked at me incredulously before explaining that "chickens aren't animals, they're birds." FML

Hi guys, OP here. Yeah I've been a vegetarian for a few years and my friend finally decided to call me out on it. I think i died a little inside when i heard it haha. He eventually did admit that he was wrong and we're still friends and whatnot. Common sense isn't so common nowadays though is it.

This friends, is why us vegetarians have a bad reputation for acting like we're better than people.

If we aren't supposed to eat meat, why is it so damned tasty?

I've always said I could be a vegetarian with no problem, if they'd only reclassify beef.

I hope you laughed your ass off and then corrected him. ***Reminds me of the time I once had a cold and was told by my friend, that I shouldn't be eating what I was eating because "dairy products" causes phlegm. I was eating eggs at the time. :P

Why don't people understand vegetarians? When I go to a restaurant & ask what vegetarian options they have, they always say fish & chicken! What?? Vegetarians don't eat anything with a mother!

I love the way you phrased it! xD (although, sorry, I downvoted your comment by accident.)

That's a much better explanation. I've heard the explanation that they don't eat anything that lived, which is when I usually point out that vegetables, fruit, etc are all living things as well

Technically plants have mothers too, since plants have sperm and eggs like we do. The only difference is that most plants are hermaphodites, so sometimes their mother is also their father lol.

57- really? Anything that lived? I've honestly never heard that before. The most common one that I've heard is "no food with a face" and personally, when asked, I keep it nice and simple by just saying "no animals. And yes, fish and birds are animals."
