Vegetarian manners.
I am vegetarian and I am often offered foods containing meat. I always feel so rude saying no to their food when they have taken so much time to prepare it and stuff.
How do I get around this without feeling rude or offending people?

If this is an issue when you go to your friends houses or something, make sure you let them know beforehand that you're a vegetarian. If it's in other social situations, just make sure you try to drop hints that you're a vegetarian.
Just politely say "No thanks, I'm a vegetarian." If they still offer. It's not being rude at all, really! Actually, THEY probably think they're offending you. Just make sure you let them know that you're not offended, and you hope that you haven't offended them. Be straightforward, and you'll get good results! (:
If it continues to be an issue, just make sure you bring money or pack food when you're going somewhere. That way, the people won't need to completely make another meal.

When you are offered meat, say "Sorry,I don't eat meat. I'm a vegetarian." They'll most likely understand and won't get offended.

Go vegetarians =]
Just tell them you don't eat meat. Yes, it does get a bit awkward, but after telling them once or twice, hopefully people will begin to remember.
I also like the idea of letting them know beforehand, if possible.

Well, be sure to tell them before hand your a vegetarian, make it well known and it's something I'd personally be proud of and wish i could do.
And if they take time out to make and it all, you've just got to say "I'm sorry, I'm vegetarian" or something, they should respect you being a vegetarian, just as much as you respect how much time they took into it. Otherwise, if they don't you don't really need manners to them. aha. =)
