Today, when I told my family I was a vegetarian, I expected them to make fun of me because that's just my family. But what I wasn't expecting was my dad to use raw meat as a puppet and make it say, "Eat me! Eat me!" then throw it at my face. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, I've been a vegan for a year. It's also the day that I met my dad's new best friend, who happens to be a retired butcher. They tried to pull an intervention on me for not "being sensible" by eating meat. FML
Today, my mom told me that when my sister and I were born, the first thing my dad said was, "I hope they don't turn out vegetarian." I did. FML
Today, my daughter said she wanted to be vegetarian like me. Beaming with pride, I made her plant-based burgers for dinner. She took one bite, screamed, "EW!" and started crying and begging for beef burgers. FML
Today, we had guests coming over. My dad wanted me to make some bacon, but I refused because I'm a vegetarian, and don't like to touch meat. His response? 'Good joke honey, now make the bacon.' FML
Today, my dad announced to the whole family that we will be having a vegetarian dinner this Christmas to make my step-mum happy. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. 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
Today, I told my younger sister that meat comes from cute animals like chickens and cows, hoping she'd want to be vegan like me. Instead, she laughed and made up a song about how chickens turn into tenders and cows turn into cheeseburgers. I ended up being the one who got upset. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You know bacon can cure Vegitarianism

At least he didn't use his wiener as the meat puppet. That would have been disturbing in many dimensions.

If god didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

Many vegetarians are not actually against eating meat, but rather against how the meat industry keeps the animals before they are slaughtered. They are largely unregulated and the conditions are really horrible for the animals and the workers. Do some research before you blindly judge a group of people please.

Your argument could also justify cannibalism seeing as humans are also "made out of meat."

Actually, I'm simply a vegetarian because I don't like the taste of meat. I am okay with seafood though. Plus some people have medical problems that prevent them from eating any meat at all.

I've been a vegetarian for almost a year now and my mum still offers me duck, steak, lamb... I don't think she's got the message yet!

It's not just being insensitive. He's throwing something at your face! That's just mean. I cant imagine someone doing that to their daughter.

Anybody else wondering how the father would've reacted if OP was coming out as a homosexual? I can't be the only one...

Ah I hate insensitive people. I get stuff said all the time at work. Bit of advice though, if you ever get cravings but don't want to give in then go for something made from quorn that's been flavoured to taste like meat. Also, steer away from hard cheeses (mozzarella, cheddar, etc) because most of them have animal rennet in them.

Mozzarella is a hard cheese?
charvisioku 22
Cheddar's not a hard cheese either. Parmesan and so on are hard cheeses. Besides, a lot of cheeses that traditionally used rennet actually have a chemical replacement in them now instead. It's usually the traditionally made ones that do have it in, and they're generally quite clearly labelled with "Contains rennet". Or at least, they are in the UK.

either or, they aren't vegetarian cheeses. cheddar is a hard cheese, mozzarella is semi-hard. Look it up :)

Come on she just wants some meat in the face too. Meat flying every where made her feel left out.
