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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw my mom sneaking meat into her spaghetti sauce. She told me she sneaks meat into most of the food she cooks. I've been a vegetarian for 8 years. FML
Today, I found out that the so-called vegetarian soy sauce my mom has made for me several times has minced meat in it. FML
Today, after being a vegetarian for 5 years, I found out that my boyfriend of 2 years has secretly been feeding me meat. His reason is that he thinks it's "funny" that I still call myself a vegetarian afterwards. FML
Today, I was eating Jell-O and was reading a fact website, when I read that gelatin is made from the collagen in cow or pig bones. I'm vegetarian. FML
Today, I accidentally bought chicken fingers. I couldn't even make it two days as a vegetarian. 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 found a bone in my sandwich. It was a veggie burger. FML
Today, I opened up a can of tomato soup I'd taken from my parents' house recently. After eating the whole can, I started feeling a little off, so I checked the expiration date. It expired 12 years ago. FML
Today, I made a tasty, healthy plant-based lunch for my family. They ate a few bites, spat it out, and then went to McDonald's "to eat real food, you know, food with meat in it." FML
Today, I defended the dried up things in the cup noodles as being real vegetables, just so that it would appear that I do actually eat vegetables. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

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)

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.
