I know I've tweeted this already, but I love it and need to share for those of you who don't follow my tweets.
I think I have received some form of each one of these "arguments" against going vegetarian or vegan.
There could be a fill-in-the blank category solely for "How do you get your __________?"
My personal favorite, though is, "Describes some extremely unlikely hypothetical scenario in which you'd be forced to eat meat to survive."
A close second favorite is, "Something irrelevant about cavemen."
Enjoy!

I once got into a very involved yet completely improbably argument with one of these people, who said "If you were trapped on a deserted island with a puppy, you'd eat that puppy so fast!" I responded that I'd likely train the puppy to hunt rabbits and/or small birds, take up fishing myself, and bask in the mutual protection and friendship a dog would provide, thus saving me from rapidly going insane. Then I went on to say that their shortsighted puppy-eating ways were clearly evidence of some sort of mental deficiency that was evolutionarily disadvantageous. I also explained that I have never once been in danger of a deserted-island-scenario in my life, so I could safely continue being vegetarian and then I told them they were an idiot.
