Why do individuals have to be labelled by society to fit in a group?
I'm confused by the point you are making here, as it was yourself who brought the term "vegie" up, along with any preconceptions it incurs.
Why do people try and label other people? I theorise that this is caused by a fair percentage of the population striving to meet the criteria of a label they personally wish to possess. If people weren't so keen (for whatever reason) to pigeon-hole themselves as "person of type X", perhaps there would be less temptation or justification for generalisation by others.
