I'm really sorry you had to deal with such an asshat...Being a pescatarian (like a vegetarian, but I do eat sea life) I'm used to getting a lot of retarded comments about my choices not to eat meat and how my diet must suck and only consist of rabbit food...Actually the foods I eat now are so much more varied and full of flavor...But anyways, so I also don't do a lot of advertising about my diet choices...I'll mention it if it's relevant and talk specifically about the reasons to anyone who WANTS to know or anyone who spouts off bullshit claims about the animal farming industry (I will simply correct them if I know the facts)...But otherwise I leave it alone...
People like him are what makes it hard for many of us to get any respect for our choices...They certainly aren't easy choices to make or to maintain in most cases...I still breathe deep at the smell of any cooking pork...Hopefuly that will stop one day...heh
So I'm sorry you had to deal with an asshat who happens to possibly be a vegetarian...
