FAQ – why I am a vegetarian?
its not very easy to be a veg in sg. Its not about the food, its about answering the same old questions over and over again. And that is just a small example of the questions I get. Imagine everytime u meet new people, u hv to answer these questions again and again! Sian rite?
Anyway, I also dun find anything special about being veg. Its just a diet mah. So I’m gng to answer these questions here. So please dun come and ask me anymore!
If your question is not answered here, pls leave me a message la, I will try to reply them if I can la. But I am no guru hor. I say first. :P
1) why ah…why u want to be vegetarian ah?
Because I love animals and I think its too cruel to eat them - simple enough!
2) Vegetarians got strength meh?
Want to try my strength? I’ll willingly give u 2 tight slaps :P
3) Why are u still fat ah?
Erm… ask my mom? i really dunno why i will also put on weight when i breathe!!!
4) U are just eating flour all day long rite?
Dun tell me u all dun eat noodles, kuay tiao, bee hoon? And pls be more updated…mock vegetarian products are actually made with soy protein, no longer using flour!
5) Vegetarian food very oily le and hv lots of MSG
Vegetarians stalls need customers to survive and perhaps in a bid to entice more customers, they cook their food with more oil and MSG to make it more tasty. But I believe u do hv the choice to choose the vegetables and tofu instead of the fried stuff rite.
6) Why dun u try a small piece of chicken? Maybe u will like it?
I’ll try it if the chicken doesn’t die or doesn’t suffer any pain of I eat a teeny weeny bit of it.
7) Animals are meant to be eaten mah! Why are u so stupid?
If they are meant to be eaten, then why do they cry/run away/appear traumatized when they are going to be slaughtered? Shouldn’t they be grinning and happy and maybe kiss u when u are going to slaughter them?
8) Dun u miss bak kwa?
Nope I dun. There are the veg versions mah.
9) Then can u kiss a non veg person?
Hmm.. if they are clean and smell nice enough. *winks*
10) Then why are u eating eggs?
Because I really find it very hard to give up cai tao kuay and oyster omelette (the veg version). i will try my best to slowly give them up la.
Please dun ask me nutrition questions because i just eat whatever i like, i dun care about nutrition at all! Life is short! I just want to be happy without harming any animals!
