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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found a bone in my sandwich. It was a veggie burger. 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 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 got a letter back from the family I will be staying with as a part of an exchange program. Apparently they own a slaughterhouse type farm, and I'm expected to kill one of their animals and eat it as a gift from the family. I'm a vegan. FML
Today, I had a food allergy test done because of an ugly acne upswing, and after over a year of vegetarianism, I find out that I'm allergic to soy. FML

I'm guessing you haven't been a vegetarian too long. Any respectable vegetarian knows gelatin is made from animals. YDI

Actually, legit vegetarians can save ~50 animals every year, not to mention the prevention of the incredible amount of pollution from factory farming. Anyone who thinks vegetarians are "gay," "idiots," or otherwise are severely disillusioned or misinformed about what they are eating, and probably on the road to obesity, high cholesterol, or diabetes. By the way, a lot of "meat" that you think you may be eating is actually stuffed full of fillers like wheat and soy protein, such as chicken nuggets and fish sticks. Also, gelatin can only be created by slaughtering animals, which leads to the same ethical dilemma as eating meat. So, yes, it's the same thing to a vegetarian. It's not just a vegan issue. So, OP, congratulations on making a choice that is better for you and the planet, but nobody gets it right all the time. You just need to keep yourself informed.

I think you'd be more upset if you were vegan. vegetarians don't eat meat. vegans don't eat anything with animal product at all. I.e. milk eggs cheese jello etc

Get over it OP.... being vegetarian is stupid. I'm pretty sure other omnivore/carnivore mammals don't fight against their true nature. Only humans do that. Vegetarians mess up the food chain. If none of us ate meat, then we would kill any animals and we would have overpopulations, which would cause the extinction of different animals and plants. In the end, we would end up killing even more animals, and would run out of food and starve to death! So basically, the end of the world!!! Don't mess with the food chains

You do realize we breed animals specifically for food, right? If we stopped... well, they would be at the levels they were at before we started breeding them. We don't go out and hunt cows for burgers, we grow them like corn.

185 - And clearly you have no respect for people who make different choices than you do. It's their choice to eat that way. It's not your place to condemn them for it. Like I said somewhere else in this FML, some people are healthier and do better on a vegan or vegetarian diet, than an omnivorous one.

Oh god. You really should think about what you want to say before you write it.
