Common

People who hear i eat vegan have a tendency to respond in one of two ways:
- you still eat chicken/fish/seafood, right?
- how do you get all your calcium/iron/B-12?

People who mention the first need a greater understanding of the concept of "animal" and people who mention the latter don't generally consider that such a question should really be asked to everyone. The only ones i really pay attention to are the ones who mention B-12, but usually they mention it more along the lines of "Do you use vitamin capsules/nutritional yeast/enriched products to get enough B-12?"

After those questions it's on to asking about my health and energy. I try to respond in one of two ways:
- "I only have enough energy to complain of all my ailments...[insert random, lengthy complaints]"
- "I take enough drugs to make sure i stay healthy and energetic. If the vodka doesn't keep me awake and kill off all evil germs, then the shrooms won't let me realise i'm sick and tired."
