Is it normal to be a vegetarian?

I'm vegetarian even though I got yelled at by my family. I get lots of judgemental comments too but it's nobody's business what I choose to put in my mouth. Do what makes you happy. I suck it up and try to ignore the nauseating scent of bacon or beef. The least they can do is ignore the fact that I'm not eating the stinky meat.

Its normal. If you wanna be a vegetarian i think you should. I just dont reccomend being vegan. You cant eat like.. ANYTHING. But if you believe this strongly in being a vegetarian then go ahead.

I don't think vegetarianism is natural. Meaning, I don't think being vegetarian is something humans are supposed to be doing. There is a reason we have canines.
However, that being said, vegetarianism is becoming more popular, especially around the young hippie crowd. So while I don't think it's natural, I figure it's pretty normal considering the amount of people choosing this lifestyle.

I am, but I was also "born veggie". I don't feel any pressure to stay veggie, but I want to stay how I am. Some people think my parents were horrible for "forcing" me, but they don't. I guess it is easier for me.

Is it abnormal to choose the way you want to provide sustenance to your sustenance-requiring self and to care about the world around you so that it can still provide the things that GIVE you sustenance?

I think not! This is a decision you're making for yourself and your environment. No one else should influence that decision.

I was vegetarian for one year, and then went vegan. I had a hard time finding acceptance among family and friends, but now everything's okay, some of them have even followed my steps. Don't worry, it will get better with time.

I became a vegetarian when I was 7 all by myself :) people make fun and stuff but remember: you aren't killing and they are :)

I've been a veggie for ever! Literally lolz
Yeah the phase things annoying right? But its totally normal

Totally normal. Also normal for people to disapprove (it's annoying!)

I'm actually vegan 99% of the time (every once in a while I'll slip up and eat cheese) and believe it or not there is still a ton I can eat :)

yeah its normal but not all that healthy for you. there are certain vitamins and minerals that you can only get from meat. but honestly though, i would have a lamb roast with mint sauce over lettuce anyday!

I'm a vegetarian because I don't like the texture of most meats.

You can survive on such a diet but it isn't normal if you have animal protein sources, and it's easy to run short on some nutrients. Humans are omnivorous.

Good for you!

I think its normal, plenty of ppl are vegitarians. But be careful, alot of vegetarians are also unhealthy.. Pale and way too thin.. Just dont take it too far

Yes I'm exactly like that I've been a veggie snice I was 6 I toaltly support you

its good you are a vegatarian im not one and will never bee but just because people are saying its silly dont think its silly its your life choice just as it is people who eat meat

Yea it's normal. A lot of people do this. I mean I get the whole save the animals and stuff but I love meat and u get some good stuff from it haha

There are tons of people who are vegetarians. This is not a new or unique concept but good for you! Hope you stick with it!

of course it's normal. i've been a veg for almost 2 years. it's actually healthier than eating meat as long as u eat the right things :)
