The discussion about how healthy vegetarianism is aside, I agree that the portrayal of such diets as super-quirky and veg*n people instantly loving meat may be a bit annoying.

I remember an episode of the Simpsons where the family had some young woman staying with them and Marge said she mixed meat juices in stuff like mashed potato, so Lisa (after she turned vegetarian) didn't notice it. I always felt something that was really uncaring of Lisa's opinions and preferences, as well as upholding a subtly scornful attitude a lot of America has against alternative diets.

I was at my ex's house for dinner made by his mother once, and she'd done two versions of the casserole we were eating (because him, me and two of her daughters are vegetarian, but she and her husband and other daughter and son ate meat). One of her vegetarian daughters asked what stock brand she had used for the veggie version, and her mum says, "Oh, I just used the juice from the other one."

Four people stopped eating and looked askance.

The odd bit of it was that in her mind, what she'd made was vegetarian because she was counting that as there being no actual pieces of meat in it. How she computed that just seems bizarre to me - that pouring meat juice in wouldn't have made her realise, 'oh wait!'

At least it was a mistake, though. Marge putting hidden meat juice in Lisa's food deliberately instead of just, say, openly discussing her fears about nutrition with her, isn't good at all.
