I'm a vegetarian. I've been one for basically all my life. My mom says as a baby I would only want to eat green baby foods and stopped liking milk at a really young age. I'm not a big animal rights activist. It's just a textural/taste thing for me.

However, I do relate with being made fun of or gtetting a hard time for being vegetarian. Now that I'm older and my social activities circle around eating dinners with friends, people get more annoyed with me. One of my friends said "Everything would be so much easier if you just ate meat" the other day. They always feel the need to make picking a restaurant such a big deal. Someone will suggest a place and then they'll say "Oh, but what is Candious going to eat?" when I'm honestly not that picky. As long as they have a salad or maybe I can get side of fries it's all good. If they have a vegetarian meal option, even better but not necessary.

I also get ganged up on in group situations often. People ask "Why" so much that they start to sound like 3 year olds. I just try to ignore it or I wont hang out with those people.
