* The titular character of ''NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'' is a strict vegetarian and believes there is no justification for eating meat. She is so stubborn about this issue, in fact, that she turns a deaf ear to Jean's arguments that he and her friends only eat meat for food, not for cold killing. (She abandons this attitude, however, when she tells them about her tragic past that led to her rigidness about it.)

* In the novel ''Elizabeth Costello,'' the titular character's vegetarianism is just one of the many issues she has to contend with in the world she lives in.

* You can expect that if a study finds vegetarians are demonstrably healthier than meat-eaters, it is this. Most likely, white bread and margarine become "honorary" meat.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans:'' Beast Boy is a vegetarian (or a vegan; he doesn't seem eat eggs or dairy, but is still reffered to as a vegetarian in canon.) virtue of the fact that he's "been some of those animals." He frequently encounters conflict with Cyborg because of his dietary preferences (making scrambled tofu instead of scrambled eggs, at which Cyborg was ''not'' amused). In one episode he tries to persuade Raven to eat one of his tofu-dogs; her response:

Alice, on the other hand, is a vegetarian. As such, she's a supporter of the SoylentSoy diet and would thus thrive in a {{Veganopia}} environment, and literally DoesNotLikeSpam. She'll probably eat FantasticFruitsAndVegetables, or jump at the CallToAgriculture. Maybe she'll advocate ArtificialMeat, the type that's made from plant byproducts, such as tofu, mictoprotein, or gluten steaks, and she might well assure you that it TastesLikeChicken. Perhaps at one point she used to eat meat, but switched camps after [[LetsMeetTheMeat meeting her food live and in person.]] Or perhaps she doesn't eat meat because it's [[AgainstMyReligion against her religious beliefs]] to do so. If the creators of the work dislike veggies in general she will probably be a StrawVegetarian.

* ''TheSimpsons'': between Lisa and Homer in "Lisa the Vegetarian", where Homer is throwing a BBQ just around the same time as Lisa has just converted to vegetarianism. After attempting to sabotage the BBQ Lisa goes missing as she is searching for others who share her philosophy; when she finds them, they point out that though they share her values, she's actually being an intolerant jerk.

Basically, this trope is about the kind of conflict that goes on when a meat-eater and a vegetarian have to share the same dining space.
