...usual response? Mine are:

Them: Where do you get your protein?
Me: Many things, including beans, nuts, soy and fortified foods have protein in them. I get more than enough.

Them: I thought vegans were all sickly thin, how come you're not?
Me: Being a vegan does not have to mean less calories. Calories in + exercise = calories burned. It's as simple as that.

Them:What do you eat then?
Me: Everything you do, but without the animal products. In fact, my diet is probably more varied than yours since I tried to incorporate a lot of exotic foods.

Them: Why don't you eat meat?
Me: I don't like it for any reason.
Them: Oh, so it's not for ethical reasons?
Me: Not exactly
Them: Well, that's ok then (as if it weren't ok if it were for ethical reasons).
 
Them: Animals are useless and don't do anything helpful. Why are you defending them?
Me:Home dogs don't do anything useful, but people love them and shudder at the idea of feasting on their dog.So why is it different for any other animal???
