I don't know about you guys, but I have had some pretty strange things said to me over my 30 years of following a diet/life style that just isn't main stream.

I thought we could all chip in here and then maybe do a poll to vote what the strangest of all of them is!

Here are some of the best ones I've had.....(my thoughts in brackets below).....

1: I know deep down you yearn to try meat. I bet your dad sneaks into the fridge and eats bacon raw.
(So I've never once yearned to try any animal flesh, neither has my poor dad, and we don't have bacon in our fridge, so that kind of rules that one out).

2: Oh, these pies have lard in. But lard is vegetarian isn't it?
(No).
Surely you don't mind eating lard just this once?
(Yes I do).

3: I'm vegetarian too. I like to eat fish.
(You're not vegetarian then).

4: You're picking nettles to make beer? Liar.
(It's true, we do like to brew nettle beer and most of the time it turns out pretty decently!)
