“strict poultretarian”? Haha! The chicken question irks me even more than the fish! I don’t discriminate… I don’t eat ANY animals.

Often meat-eaters think vegetarians are weird so no idea why they are claiming our word! Ha!

Drives me batty. It is not uncommon to be asked if I eat chicken, either (and I once heard someone refer to herself as a “strict poultretarian,” which caused me to nearly choke on my own giggles). I don’t know when the “vegetarian” label became so desirable that meat-eaters started claiming it!

Haha, I say I’m a “proper” vegetarian! I personally don’t understand why people give up meat but continue eating fish (unless it’s a dislike of the real meaty taste, I suppose) but that’s okay. I don’t really care that they do, I just wish they wouldn’t refer to themselves as vegetarians and leave us “real” vegetarians answering those pesky questions!
