One of my classmates once said "I don't think I'm my type's type." I think that fits here.

Actually I was a Vegetarian for a few years and a Vegan for a hot minute (and I do mean a hot minute) and this has to do with the non-eater's perception of internal cleanliness. For example, many "cultural" Vegetarians (those that totally embrace a Vegetarian and "Healthy" lifestyle, not those that simply don't eat meat) see meat eaters as unclean internally and will even find the body odor of meat eaters offensive. I can admit that when I was a Vegetarian my body odor was less strong in every way, from the smell of my burps to the smell of my "you know what" so there is definitely truth to this. Meat causes stronger (more offensive) smells and I personally believe that people who eat red meat frequently, generally have stronger odors than those who eat mostly chicken and fish and definitely stronger than Vegetarians and Vegans. Other bodily fluids will often have a stronger smell also. I know Vegetarians/Vegans that have vowed to only date Vegetarians/Vegans because of these issues. It's like a non-smoker refusing to date a smoker because they can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke and the breath of smokers.

All I can say is, you must have been eating WAY different stuff than the Vegetarians/Vegans I know, because my experience has been the opposite. Gardenburgers...that's all I have to say. "Clear the room" is an understatement.

LOL! I ate mostly fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, cheese, yogurt, and grains. The commercial "Vegetarian" packaged foods found in most commercial supermarkets are a different story entirely. There are Vegetarians/Vegans that won't go near that stuff and consider it junk.
