I've just been sent a press release from the aforementioned website, listing the things that vegetarians hate to hear. I'm guilty of using most of them, I think. Also - the world's leading website for lonely vegans and vegetarians?! ACE.

What not to say to a Vegetarian

15 May 2006

With National Vegetarian Week just around the corner, VeggieRomance.com,
the UK's leading dating site for vegans & vegetarians, reveals the most
common (and irritating!) comments encountered by vegetarians. Surveying
thousands of vegan & vegetarian members, VeggieRomance has compiled the top
ten comments most likely to get a veggie's goat....

1) What do you eat?

2) How do you get your protein?

3) You don't look like a vegetarian.

4) I'm vegetarian too... apart from chicken... and fish... but they don't
count.

5) You must be tempted by a bacon sandwich?

6) If it weren't for us (carnivores) there wouldn't be any animals.

7) I'm not a vegetarian, but I could never eat a dog or a horse, that's
barbaric...

8) Don't worry, you'll grow out of it.

9) Here's some lettuce.

10) Why?

The comment that perhaps ought to be there but isn't yet.... "Hi, I'm
Gordon Ramsay".
