So, more work, more respect, less bullying? This sounds like a lose/lose/lose situation for me.
Well unless you want to lose/lose/lose your girlfriend it's what you gotta do.

So My Girlfriend's Becoming a Vegetarian...

Exactly. My wife is giving up dairy (our son nurses and he doesn't seem to be doing well with dairy) but my daughter and I still have it. Not as often, and we are trying to eat the substitutes as well, but she doesn't expect us to give it up, just be supportive. It may not be permanent. We'll see how it goes.
Don't be a dick. Good advice for all kinds of relationship issues.
Has anyone ever successfully convinced a vegetarian that steak is secretly a vegetable, and therefore okay to eat?

No.

Almost, she was blonde.
Like a mini pig!????!!!!?!
My Saturday in OT has now been fulfilled by the two threads. Thank you TB.
Her farts are going to be BAD!!!! There's a change that happens when they go through this. I know from experience. Well, not me but a few chicks I dated in the past. They may be all pretty and perfect now but when they start changing their eating habits the perfection takes a nose dive and they just flat out start to stink.
Also, remember that, even though you may like or even love this girl a lot, you're still an individual and if she can't respect your human right to eat meat then she's not being fair. It would be different if you were shoving bacon and hamburger in her face but I doubt you are. It sounds like you're being fair so far. You have a right to like what you like just like she does. Don't drink the Kool-Aid!!! More than likely it's just a phase anyway.

I've referred to meat as "Mother Nature's Concentrated Vegetables" before. You might try that line. Once.
My mom's been a vegetarian consistently for the last 10 years or so, however recently she has begun eating limited amounts of fish, here and there. She basically ended up making her own meals, which basically meant that the entire family began making our own individual meals.
I keep trying to press meat on her, she keeps objecting for moral reasons.

Really?

Please, just don't drink the Kool-Aid even though you're surrounded by it from all sides. I was once part of a group here in Columbus called M.E.A.T. (Mean Eating Animals Together) and we kept each other Kool-Aid free and went out to eat every Sunday. Groups like this make the salad shooters cringe in disgust but we had the victory!
What can I do to reduce being steamrolled into becoming one by proxy as well?
Eat lots of meat.
Really?
Well, if you take a few statements that support your argument, isolate them and put them one after another, sure anyone's going to seem like a beast:
*punctuation may involve artistic license
Yes but if you don't edit what I said it comes out as being fair, if you don't edit yours it still seems like you are being unfair.
If I eat a really, really greasy meaty meal and then go on to immediately make out with her really passionately without wiping my face or brushing my teeth, what are the chances that the Pavlovian combination of my impressive tonguework and the taste of meat will combine to reverse her new interests?
Absolute zero, my girlfriend doesn't like kissing me right after I've eaten meat, although if your girlfriend has only recently stopped eating meat then she might not care or just not notice.
