Being a vegetarian in this meat-centric world can be tough. When barbecue and bacon reign supreme, it’s hard for people to wrap their heads around what a plate without meat is all about. It’s not all salads, guys, we can assure you that.
Vegetarians are faced with not only having to navigate a world where meat is hiding in all kinds of surprising dishes ― watch out for the duck fat potatoes ― but it also means living in a world where people ask stupid questions. (By the way, yes, most vegetarians do get enough protein.) It’s not easy, and these 15 tweets sum up the struggle perfectly.
When you only order sides at a restaurant bc you're vegetarian #vegetarianproblems like pls make some veggie options. Is that so hard?
