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...

How is this a FML. I mean honestly all you had was beef broth when your vegetarian. It's not the end of the world.

So many people arguing with incorrect information!

you think animals are there just for us to eat them? Animals actually came before humans and many animals could eat us if they wanted to but they are too sweet to do that

Wow, the naïveté is adorable. With a few exceptions, the main reason anything that could eat us doesn't is because we've done a damn good job ensuring they can't. But, if you wanna test that theory, we could give you nice bloody cut and toss you in a shark tank. If sharks aren't your thing, just pick your favourite non-domesticated non-tamed animal (since we domesticated/tamed them, you can credit their not eating us to our mastery over them) and we'll see how sweet they are when they get hungry. Of course, there's the entire issue of "animals actually came before humans". "Animals" is actually a vague thing to say (humans are also of the kingdom Animalia, after all), but cows as we know them actually evolved after (and helped by) humans, and cattle in general evolved around the same time that the **** started, so if you want to pull "animals actually came before humans" as a reason not to eat them, it follows that cows are okay. And they're not exactly the only such animal, either....

okay, go ahead.

Domesticated animals will eat you too. The domesticated house cat will eat its owner should the person become incapacitated and the cat gets hungry. I'm pretty sure that should a dog starve or eat his incapacitated owner, he would eat his owner.

You forget the whole people taste like crap part thats why they dont eat us sharks would rather eat metal than humans most wild animals also find human scent to be gross as well if an animal kills you its usually not to eat you its because you pissed it off Bees will chase you, bears will maul you if you enter their territory, wolves will hunt you just because they eat anything they can get most of the time since they have to share with the pack

animals aren't 'too sweet' to eat us....if they needed to for sustenance then they certainly would, and some of them do. Circle of life. That said, people can do and eat whatever suits them and i really couldn't care, but please don't act like we're barbarians for eating meat and animals are sweet and loving, while we just go all om nom nom on them. They eat each other for sustemamce, we eat them for sustenance *shrugs* the world keeps on spinning.....

YDI for not reading the ingredients beforehand... if it doesn't say it's "suitable for vegetarians", chances are it isn't.

vegan or vegetarian I don't really care. you're all a bunch of PETA loving tree hugging idiots. you've never had a filet mignoin and shrimp from the hibachi. that's just absurd

Exactly this. You can't just skip a steak and then call yourself a vegetarian. Things that are a principled lifestyle choice require doing a little bit of homework, especially in the US or UK where the additives are almost specifically worded to deceive. It's somewhat different here in Germany, because the food purity and labelling laws actually mean something. Natural rennet in cheese is a biggie, as well as gelatine in tons of processed foods. If you're vegan there's milk in practically everything. While we're at it, cochineal red food colouring is made from bugs. The type of vegetarian that wears leather shoes and has a leather handbag gets on my nerves too, because the ignorant ones are usually the most vocal. I have no problem with vegetarians, but I believe if you claim you're doing something as a philosophical principle, you should have the common sense to take the most basic steps to get it right. P.S.: Chicken and fish aren't vegetables. If you don't like red meat, just say so - don't call yourself vegetarian.

just a wild guess, but I highly doubt that's the first "meat" you've had in 7 yrs. if you never read labels you've most likely had quite a bit! so don't feel bad about the soup :)

Hey guys, guess what, I hunt my own animals! Yaaaaay for 'Vegetarian/Vegan Hates Club' ! Veggies are completely **** idiots, who have absolutely no reason to be so. Unless they dislike meat. But then they shouldn't call themselves veggies anyway. So degrading. Vegans are worse. I know many veggies and vegans. They're all bastards who need a good kicking. Hope all the food they eat has meat in. Haha. Till one of you gives me a reason for your so called ethical vegetarianism/veganism, you haven't a right to down arrow me with your pathetic excuses..

I ate horse the other day. I'm not even joking. I imagine you'd support that 100% too while you're going off at people that might have a moral or philosophical issue with eating animals?
