Get the vegetarian mug.
Someone who does not eat the meat of any animal. Not even fish or chicken as some would like to think.
I laughed at the silly omnivore who said vegetarians were weak because they didn't eat meat. It was so sad to me that she didn't realize I was a black-belt in Jiu-Jitsu and an award winning weight-lifter who didn't even take any supplements as I proceeded to mop the floor with her fat animal killing ass.

True story.

1)A person who doesn't eat any kind of meat, including fish or poultry.
2)An awesome person.
Many omnivores think that we go around preaching every damn minute of the day about our opinions...NEWSFLASH, not every vegetarian does that you know.
Meat eater: Hey look there's a stupid vegetarian, hey are you gonna preach to us?
Vegetarian: Um..no. Go away.

Get the vegetarian mug.
Someone who abstains from eating meat, but not dairy products (eggs can be argued for one way or the other), in protest that the meat market is so poorly regulated and primitive. We have experimental technology that allows for growing organs with stim cell research, why shouldn't we be able to grow a slab of muscle that never has to have eyes or lips?

Not to be confused with Veganism, wherein no animal products whatsoever are eaten.
Vegetarians are often a helluva lot healthier than their omnivorous fellow humans.

Get the vegetarian mug.
Someone who is conscious of the way that animals are treated in industrial farming. Someone who realises its perfectly natural to eat meat, but chooses not to because of the torture, humiliation, pain, misery, suffering and disrespect of animals. All brought about by the greed of certain money obsessed corporations and the ignorance of the (somewhat uneducated) mass public.
