* Hector's girlfriend Autumn from ''{{Zits}}''. The first time she saw Jeremy eating a burger, she got a hysterical fit as if she truly had never seen anything so terrible before.

* ''TheSimpsons'': Lisa tries to convince everyone not to eat meat at Homer's barbeque and eventually throws away the roasted pig. At the end of that episode, Lisa learns from [[PaulMcCartney Paul]] and Linda [=McCartney=] not to be judgemental about non-vegetarians, after which she mostly settles down -- but [[AesopAmnesia it doesn't stop her occasionally lapsing into aggression in later episodes]], [[RuleOfFunny mostly as jokes]].

** Admittedly she's young and has a crush; there's no strong indication she doesn't believe veganism is a good thing. In fact Jesse could be the bigger StrawMan, likely only being such a strong vegan to swagger about his enviromental message, not because he believes so strongly in it.
* In ''DannyPhantom'', goth girl Sam tries to get meat banned from the school café in favour of her parody vegetarian diet of turf (yes turf, as in grass) - the result is [[MeatVersusVeggies mass protests from both sides]]. It's played for laughs, however, and is an AffectionateParody (Her opposite, Tucker, is utterly meat-obsessed).

* GordonRamsay at one time seemed to believe this of most vegetarians and has pulled stunts before such as serving meat to vegetarians on his program ''The F Word'' (in fairness, with their consent.) He has since softened his stance.

* [[TheDitz Really stupid]], often a DumbBlonde

** Admittedly she's young and has a crush; there's no strong indication she doesn't believe veganism is a good thing. There are much worse examples of Straw in TheSimpsons.

** Also Lisa once fell in with a crowd of environmental terrorists (at least partly on account of the leader was hot). She visits him in jail.

* Hayley in ''AmericanDad''. An adamant vegetarian, yet in one episode, she spends her time stuck in Africa with Stan and Steve in the American Embassy, clearly eating meat dishes. In another, she admonishes her boyfriend Jeff for eating a corndog, telling him they're vegetarian. Jeff replies "Still?"

* Averted by Karen in ''SBBBrothers''' Sims Big Brother 8. While her interview makes her sound like one, where she states her goal is to introduce one houseguest to veganism or at least vegetarianism, but she doesn't outright say it.

-->'''Lisa''': I think your protest was incredibly brave.
-->'''Jesse''': Thank you. This planet needs every friend it can get.
-->'''Lisa''': Oh, the earth is the best! That's why I'm a vegetarian.
-->'''Jesse''': Heh. Well, that's a start.
-->'''Lisa''': Uh, well, I was thinking of going vegan.
-->'''Jesse''': I'm a level 5 vegan -- I won't eat anything that casts a shadow.

* One of these features in [[http://www.bash.org/?604861 this]] story from [[BashOrg Bash]].
* TheBestPageInTheUniverse portrays all vegetarians everywhere like this, and urges carnivores to eat more meat than usual to compensate for the animals that aren't dying.

The vast majority of vegetarians, however, are not like this. Most ''have'' eaten meat before and choose not to continue doing so for multiple reasons. The more well-rounded ones are also respectful of what others eat, though it helps if that respect is returned.

* In an advert for Quorm (a type of meat-replacement protein) the vegetarian is portrayed as the classic whiner "it's-a-phase" stereotype. Which is ''really'' weird when you consider that the stuff is aimed at primarily at vegetarians and vegans.

* Regine from LivingSingle becomes one after watching a daytime talk show where its said being a vegetarian not only good for you, but will keep you active and young looking when you get old (as well as have a hot, young boyfriend).
