I will generally only discuss why i am vegetarian if the subject arises. I get a variety of responses from people being impressed to people thinking i'm stupid.
number one peeve is people saying that animals were put on the earth for us to eat. or Its been this way for millenia, why change?
Now i'm feeling opinionated. But still having difficulty cutting out the eggs, i'll give that a go when the baby arrives.
just wanted to add that I don't push my views on others. If they ask about vegetarian diets i tell them about it and if they are interested in changing then fantastic. its an individual choice.
I have had a number of meat eaters tell me its unhealthy and bad for charlie's health which makes me a little mad.
