Why do people automatically assume that I'm like anorexic or something just because I'm a vegetarian?

Seriously, like every one is looking at me like I'm some sort of sociopath and saying stuff like but you're not fat, or thats not healthy for you, or some other stupid crap. I became a vegetarian 2 years ago because when I was 13, I wanted to make a drastic change in my life that I could stick to in order to get over my fear of change. I have been completely healthy with the decision and two years later I have not had one complication with being a vegetarian. I still love the taste of meat but I also love animals. I'm not one of those crazy psycho people who assume that anyone else who eats meat is like a menace to society and should be hung. I'm just a normal human being. Oh and no. Vegetarians and vegans are not the same. I will flip if I don't get my cheese. That fake crap sucks. Oh and I hate vegetables. And tofu.

    ignorant people do stupid stuff and think they acting 'normal'. personally i think you are a very strong person and i admire you for facing your fears and overcoming it! ignore the haters...they just jealous or confused, or some ignorant combination of both haha. oh why you hate veggies if you vegetarian? just wondering.

    Because doing anything out of the ordinary raises questions in ordinary people. Why do you not conform? You know you want to. Join the dark side... resistance is futile.

    Since they are people that are visually seeing you --they must be concerned with lack of weight on your physical body.

    I'm mostly vegan and eat raw food (that stuff is amazingly good for you)...so does that make me EXTRA SUPA DUPA pro ana ;P haha...whole healthy food is far better than over processed nastiness. Do what feels right to you and your body.
