It’s definitely greener this side!
Being vegetarian is not easy. Not because you don’t get enough options to eat from but because you will have to walk around giving justifications or explaining the dietary decisions of your life to all. From friends in college to aunties in parties, all are interested in your eating preference and worried about you suffering from malnutrition. So basically, except you, most of the people whom you encounter are the nutrition experts of your life. And then there are people with whom you will have to endure stats from researches done to prove why you should be a non-vegetarian. And that bestows your life with an ample number of arguments and explanations. You keep on proving that being vegetarian is not a crime. Well, here are some most common comments you will hear from non-vegetarians if you are a vegetarian.
