first of all, allow me to say kudos to all vegetarians and vegans out there! you guys are special! ok maybe we are considered freaks but hey we are freaks for a good cause rite? ;p *punches air yeahh~!*
well personally i've been a vegetarian for 7 years (and counting) and i wouldn't say i hadn't been thru jeers, taunts and even sarcasm. let's see what are some of the remarks i get.
"You? Vegetarian? But whyyyyyy~~??? *the stunnest look i've ever seen in my life*" (ok and also the longest why i've heard too!)
"...ahh but you are missing out the good things in life!". followed by a pitiful look. =.=
"Its NOT HEALTHY!! Your diet is not balanced!"
"You won't get enough proteins!". That's the most common feedback.
"What the heck are you doing in a non-vegetarian restaurant???"
"Ohhhh poor thing...then you must have had a limited variety of food..! Its only vegetables..."
like seriously. it isn't that tough placing special requests for vegetarian meals in a non-vegetarian restaurant rite? *laughs* i don't seem to experience bouts of feeling deprived of exquisite dishes. so u can't possibly say that i'm missing out the good things in life. in fact i've even learnt to see things on a whole new perspective!
all the hullabaloo about having not enough proteins? i'm thru with them. if meat is the main source of proteins then where do the proteins come from for cows and goats and gazelles and giraffes? obviously there has to be some source for them.
ohh check out the following celebrities.

Ginnifer Goodwin.

Bryan Adams.
they're all vegetarians/vegans. so what's there not to be a vegetarian? =)
i could go on and on but i'll leave this post at this for now.
and this post has a special dedication to Yong, an ex-colleague and close friend who also happens to be a vegetarian for the longest years that i've known. thank you for your enthusiasm in hunting down new vegetarian eateries and for standing strong to your beliefs!
