It’s the worst when you’re in a group ordering pizzas and people insist on getting pepperoni, sausage and onion, meat lovers, etc. And then the first pizza to be gone is plain cheese.

Yes… always hated that everyone wants to order the meat pizzas but then eat up the entire 1 cheese pizza ordered before us plant-based eaters get to it. 🙄 No, I can’t just pick off the greasy meat. No, it won’t kill me. But that’s not the point.

Queue the, “You’re vegetarian? Wow, that must be hard. I want to be but I couldn’t live without a steak every so often. How do you get enough protein?”
“You know, these meatless meatballs in the small crockpot you brought aren’t nearly as good as the others?”

Or when they pick the restaurant and the only option is salad and French fries. Some places have beyond or impossible burgers, but I don’t want that to be my only option when dining out.

Mac n cheese, cheese pizza, chips and guacamole or bean dip, kettle chips, bean and cheese burritos, chile relleno, cheese boards, chili/stuffed baked potatoes, mutter paneer and many curries, vegetable sushi, pb n j sandwiches, spaghetti, spinach and cheese ravioli, deep fried squash blossoms, eggplant parmesan, vegetable lasagna…
Yeah, being vegetarian sucks. It’s just rabbit food. /s

I’ve learned to always order my own food and not share it. Pizza and Chinese in particular. Gets me some dirty or puzzled looks. I just claim I don’t like to share food and move the discussion.

Seriously! There are two vegetarians out of 25 employees where I work. Why do the veggie pizzas and sandwiches always disappear before we’ve even had a chance to go back there!?

I learned decades ago to not delay when getting food at a communal event as the vegetarian food is the first to go. The organizers will order 15 meat pizzas and one veg and in the first 30 seconds the veg pizza is gone because it looks more interesting, more appetizing and more nutritious than any of the others. Same with a buffet, dont delay !

I don’t get it. Why would “meat eaters” be concerned about “only eating the one sole meat free option”? Why wouldn’t they just eat the other options?

My current job is pretty good about this, and they’ll even order a small vegan pizza (cashew cheese) for the one vegan coworker and the one who is allergic to dairy. However, the salad they order with the pizza almost always has meat (bacon bits). It’s so annoying because it looks soooooo good without the meat and no one ever touches the salad! That being said, even with my mindful coworkers, the cheese pizza is often gone first.

Meat eaters will have a whole barbeque with ribs, burgers, and hot dogs, and still, eat the corn and mac and cheese first. Almost like meat isn’t actually that good in the first place.

Last year in my dad’s birthday I made veggie pastel (I don’t know if it exists in English) and it was the first thing to be gone.

It’s crazy how we are the problems when it comes to eating , not the people who have more flexibility to eat what they want

I’ll never forget when vegetarianism and veganism became more popular and I could finally choose things on the menu instead of just getting a side salad or fries (which weren’t always safe bc they can sometimes be cooked in animal fat). LET THEM KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

One of the things I enjoy about everyone at the table being veg, is when you go to a veg restaurant, the topic of conversation isn’t 100% veg food.

Both buttons at once in my experience
