Let me enjoy my steak!


In general I try to avoid criticising people and the decisions they take, however, vegetarians have a habit of getting on my nerves (not all of them of course). Have you ever been to a dinner and there is a vegetarian on the table, of course they make it a point that everyone on the table knows what they are and then they enrol on a mission to inform everyone why they became vegetarians, how long they have been vegetarians, what video we should YouTube to see how much animals suffer...the list is endless.

I do get their concept that meat in general is not good when consumed in large amounts like we have a habit of doing; yes we know it has a lot of hormones; that meat in general is more fattening and is one of the high factors for obesity. But please if I am at dinner and feel like having a rib eye steak don’t make it a point to rattle next to my ear all the reasons why you turned vegetarian.

 One thing that confuses me a little about vegetarians are the ones that eat fish, doesn't a fish have feelings too. In general humans are over fishing and if they want to help the environment then you should stop eating fish. It makes more sense to eat pork for example; pigs we rare them and we kind of have control on the breading etc etc, whilst fish on the other hand is becoming more and more extinct.

Finally, i do not have anything against vegetarians just please let me enjoy my steak while you enjoy your pasta al olio .
