One particularly snarky post I wrote about other people's blogs is always at the top of the list. I challenged the urge to capture every single food experience by blogging and deemed it unhealthy. Another post that always sees repeat visitors is a little love note to rapini.
One of the posts I wrote (three years ago!) about 'meat reduction' still generates a comment every once in a while. The idea of meat reductionism pleases people. As a practicing meat reductionist, I can attest that people in general social settings respond more positively to someone that eats 99% vegan than a 100% vegan. This topic came up recently with one of my commenters, Anne.
I liken veganism to feminism. In theory and practice they are both terrific ideas that benefit people, however, the label of calling yourself a vegan or a feminist can sometimes have a stigma associated with it. No, it shouldn't, but it does.
What do you think? Have you ever been harassed for self-identifying as a vegetarian? Do people roll their eyes at you?

I had a whole diatribe written out, but it was too long.
I find it incredibly amusing to hear, "You don't look vegetarian." It's weird, because I think I DO look vegetarian!
I hear you on the diatribe, Cuthbert. The whole issue is pretty loaded.
I think 10 years ago I would have said, "You don't look vegetarian," but now, in this day and age, I think you look hella vegetarian. :) I don't know who these people are!
