Great blog… you know, I just decided to become a vegetarian yesterday! Red meat kills. Beer makes you fat! The sky is falling!

You hit it on the head. Vegetarians can be annoying.

Oh, and also people who criticize vegetarians for being vegetarians are annoying.

Vegetarians who look down their noses at you for not being vegetarian are also annoying.

Oh! People who look down their noses at vegetarians for being vegetarians are annoying.

Lazy losers aren’t particularly annoying because they don’t do much. Except when you want them to do something. Then they’re annoying.

People who don’t eat meat make me more than just a little suspicious of them. Especially the waaay-out-there vegetarians who won’t even eat cake because one of the ingredients is eggs.

If you can’t appreciate a nice piece of medium-rare porterhouse or New York strip, that’s your prerogative (god, why must that word always make me think of Bobby-freakin’-Brown?!?)- but please don’t ruin my meal by moaning about the plight of poor slaughtered Bessie the cow from whence my steak came. I just don’t care.

Vegetarians can be nuts. Especially vegans. That said…I’m a vegetarian. But I never tell anyone. I can’t stand people who push their views on others, whether the subject is religion, politics, or eating habits. And I don’t want to subject people to my reasons for being a vegetarian (I do eat eggs and dairy–yum!) nor do I want to listen to the more rabid meat-eaters (come on, you know they exist, too! ) lecture me on the reasons humans need meat.

So I keep quiet about it, and when I go to someone’s house and they serve meat, I simply eat side dishes without uttering a word. No biggie. And if someone orders a pepperoni pizza I just pick off the pepperonis. I don’t care that meat touched my food or that meat grease is still on it.

So yeah, there are fanatical vegetarians and vegans out there, but some of us like to avoid conflict! ; )

Read both. They are in keeping with you online persona — wry, funny. No complaints at all there. However, I do take issue with your calling your readers “lazy losers.” Guess you left my huge portfolio of backlogged questions back in California. To add to the umbrage, I dragged myself home from a community meeting last night, thinking to myself, “Maybe I should send Pauly D another question.” Then I answered myself, “Nah, he has enough questions and doesn’t need mine.” Looks like I was right! But I’m not lazy!

I’m also taking umbrage. I’m not lazy, especially about writing. I ask questions when I have them, not just for questions’ sake.

And food obsession isn’t limited to vegetarians. How many times am I out with people who can’t stop talking about Atkins, which is basically your raw red meat and milkshakes diet (with the raw element as optional)?

As someone moderately kosher, I end up eating vegetarian style a lot, but that doesn’t make me one of them–I still believe there’s nothing like a good steak…I hope to be able to afford one again someday.

Oh, dear friends.

I would never in my wildest dreams consider any of you lazy or losers and I humbly apologize for any misdiected anger towards you.

It’s that time of the month for me, if you get my gist.

I love you all.

Mrs. Malone and I keep our veggie opinions to ourselves. But before you stick us into the “freak” category for not eating meat, here’s a little something to show you what we “quiet” vegetarians have to put up with:

“Meat” the co-workers
