[QUOTE="InTheFlame, post: 24922513"] I try to make good-humoured comebacks, like, "Oh, and rednecks who'll only eat meat and potatoes aren't? Bet I eat more foods than most of western queensland put together... :D" I find that gently challenging people's opinions does one of three things... it either gets them thinking about their views, shuts them up because they don't enjoy getting what they give out... or turns into a respectful discussion about the whys and hows of vegetarian life. Maybe because I don't put up with rudeness or aggressive debate - either talk to me politely or I'll turn away and talk to someone else. It's nice that they're being considerate. I don't mind too much, generally... although being pregnant atm my stomach is a fair bit more sensitive to smells. Sausages are the worst offenders, I find... generally the low-quality stuff really seems to STINK. Yuck. Oh, and tuna :sick: But I don't stress unless it's making me feel ill, in which case I'll try to move without being obvious about it. [/QUOTE]
