'''Sue Ellen Vegges Out'''
</center>
At school, everybody is celebrating Cinco De Mayo with a Mexican-style lunch in the cafeteria. Sue Ellen passes on any meat-filled dishes, and we learn that she has planned to become a vegetarian. However, her exact reasons are not made clear. Muffy overhears Sue Ellen and says she has been thinking about becoming a vegetarian as well, ever since Capri De Vapida switched to a vegetarian diet. Although Francine doubts her sincerity, Muffy becomes a vegetarian from that very moment. However, it quickly becomes clear that she can't handle not having meat in her life (even though Sue Ellen said nobody is forcing her to be a vegetarian). Muffy tries to order food from the mall's Chickin Lickin', only to find that there are no vegetarian dishes, and is very nearly tempted to eat her favorite roast at dinner. The next day, Muffy finds out Capri is now on a bologna diet and is thrilled to go back to eating meat. When Sue Ellen tries to explain her vegetarianism isn't because of a celebrity's eating habits and for personal reasons, Francine interrupts her and says she knew Muffy couldn't last. When Muffy challenges Francine to do better, she does exactly that by becoming a vegetarian. Sue Ellen starts to become concerned that Francine and Muffy are only using vegetarianism for competition. Muffy tries various methods to get Francine to eat meat (from trying to lure her with double [[Bubsy Burgers]] to ordering meaty [[Enguan's (restaurant)|Chinese food]] for her). However, Francine survives every time. Muffy apologizes to both Francine and Sue Ellen and invites them both to a potluck the next day, where everyone brings a dish. Once again, Sue Ellen is concerned for Francine.


At school, everyone is celebrating Cinco De Mayo with a Mexican-style lunch in the cafeteria. Sue Ellen passes on any meat-filled dishes and informs her friends that she has recently chosen to become a vegetarian (meaning that she is no longer going to eat meat). Her friends are surprised by this and question her on it — while Sue Ellen doesn’t tell them her exact reasons, she explains that she’s actually been thinking about going vegetarian for a while (so it’s not like it’s a sudden decision). Muffy overhears the last part of what Sue Ellen says and claims she has been thinking about becoming a vegetarian as well, ever since Capri De Vapida switched to a vegetarian diet. Although Francine doubts her sincerity, Muffy becomes a vegetarian from that very moment. However, it quickly becomes clear that she can’t handle not having meat in her life (even though Sue Ellen said nobody is forcing her to be a vegetarian). Muffy tries to order food from the mall’s Chickin Lickin’, only to find that there are no vegetarian dishes, and is very nearly tempted to eat her favorite roast at dinner.  
It turns out that Muffy plans to lure Francine into eating meat—she calls each of her friends in advance, making sure every dish at the potluck is meat-oriented. Sue Ellen and Francine arrive, respectively bringing sauteed breaded cauliflower and ratatouille to the potluck, which Muffy takes straight to the kitchen and throws away so nobody can eat it. Just as soon as Muffy tries to finish off Francine, Buster comes in with vegetables from the community garden (he was supposed to bring pizza with chicken and sausage, but his mom had no time to make it). Francine blows off Muffy's trap and ends up finding Ladonna's collared greens to eat, but they have actually been simmered in duck fat for three hours, making them non-vegetarian. As soon as Francine and Muffy start arguing, with Muffy declaring herself the winner, Sue Ellen has finally had enough. She angrily scolds them both for not being sincere vegetarians, and that they only used the entire thing as an excuse to compete with each other. She then reveals her reasons for being vegetarian: because she considers some animals friends, Sue Ellen lost her taste in eating them, and storms off saying she considers them to be better friends than Francine and Muffy. Almost immediately, everybody leaves the party, having 'lost their appetites', until only Muffy and Francine remain. Muffy apologizes and blames herself for this fiasco, but Francine cheers her up saying it's also her own fault. Both girls realize that they're still hungry, and they start eating the food at the party table. 


The next day, Muffy finds out Capri is now on a bologna diet and is thrilled to go back to eating meat. When Sue Ellen tries to explain her vegetarianism isn’t because of a celebrity’s eating habits and is done for personal reasons, Francine interrupts her and says she knew Muffy couldn’t last as a vegetarian. When Muffy challenges Francine to do better, she does exactly that by becoming a vegetarian. Sue Ellen starts to become concerned that Francine and Muffy are only using vegetarianism for competition.
The next day at school, a remorseful Francine and Muffy reveal to Sue Ellen their apology gift: some new vegetarian meals and a Meatless Monday at lunch once a week. The two, however, plan to eat double Bubsy Burgers after school.
 
Muffy tries various methods to get Francine to eat meat (from trying to lure her with double [[Bubsy Burgers]] to ordering meaty [[Enguan's (restaurant)|Chinese food]] for her, the latter of which Francine ends up giving to her parents). However, Francine survives every time. Later that day, once school’s over, Muffy apologizes to both Francine and Sue Ellen and invites them to a potluck the next day, where everyone brings a dish. Once again, Sue Ellen is concerned for Francine.
 
It turns out that Muffy plans to lure Francine into eating meat — she calls each of her friends in advance, making sure every dish at the potluck is meat-oriented. Sue Ellen and Francine arrive, respectively bringing sauteed breaded cauliflower and ratatouille to the potluck, which Muffy takes straight to the kitchen and throws away so nobody can eat it. Just as soon as Muffy tries to finish off Francine, Buster comes in with vegetables from the community garden (as he was supposed to bring pizza with chicken and sausage, but he and his mom had no time to make it). Francine blows off Muffy’s trap and ends up finding Ladonna’s collard greens to eat, which she finds to be delicious — although Ladonna is greatful that Francine likes the collard greens, she explains that they’re not really vegetarian, as she had them cooked in duck fat before bringing them to the party.
 
As soon as Francine and Muffy start arguing, with Muffy declaring herself the winner, Sue Ellen has finally had enough. She angrily scolds them after it’s become clear that neither of them really cares about being vegetarian, as they were just using it as an excuse to fight with each other.
'''Sue Ellen then finally reveals the (primary) reason she became a vegetarian:'''
because she considers animals to be her friends, she lost her taste for eating them. She then ends her rant by claiming that she considers animals to be better friends than people like Francine and Muffy. After Sue Ellen leaves the party, everyone else does as well, having “lost their appetites.”
 
Realizing that they took it too far, Muffy and Francine apologize to each other, and the next time they’re in school, the two apologize to Sue Ellen for how they acted. Francine and Muffy explain to Sue Ellen that, while vegetarianism just isn’t for them, they fully support her and have helped make more vegetarian options in the school cafeteria and have even introduced “Meatless Mondays” in the cafeteria each week.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Catherine explains to Francine that, as a vegetarian, one of the most important things to do is to make sure you eat plenty of iron and protein (since vegetarians generally cut most — if not all — meats out of their diets), and that foods like nuts and seeds are a good meatless source of it. This is recommended for vegetarians in real life.
 
*'''Karma:''' Muffy and Francine competed with each other so they got called out by Sue Ellen.
===Cultural references===
*'''Moral:'''
*The cafeteria has special dishes to celebrate [[wikipedia:Cinco de Mayo|Cinco de Mayo]], which is on May 5.
**Don't make up stuff for personal benefits.
*The plot is similar to a Simpsons episode "Lisa the Vegetarian".
**Don't be a hater on meat for personal benefits.
*'''Irony:'''
**Sue Ellen (a cat) decides to become a vegetarian. Buster (a rabbit), on the other hand, likes meat and is shocked at the thought of giving them up, though he still likes vegetables just as much.
**If [[Sue Ellen]] never met [[Sally (pig)|Sally]], she wouldn't be a vegetarian.
**If [[Sue Ellen]] told the girls the real reason why she stopped eating meat, [[Muffy]] and [[Francine]] wouldn't have had to compete against each other.
*'''Timeline:'''
**Francine's sister Catherine giving her advice on being a vegetarian is a nod to "The Frensky Family Fiasco", where Catherine is revealed to be a vegetarian.
**Muffy following Capri di Vapida's fashion trends was last seen in the Season 14 episode "All the Rage".
**The frozen yogurt Sue Ellen eats appears in "[[The Last Tough Customer]]."
**On Cinco de Mayo, in the cafeteria, the mariachi music from "[[Sue Ellen's Lost Diary]]" can be heard.

*Ed Crosswire's face being hidden to [https://theloudhouse.fandom.com/wiki/Season_1_(The_Loud_House) Season 1 of The Loud House] where the Loud Parents hid their faces.
*[[Mrs. MacGrady]] was [[The Great MacGrady|diagnosed with cancer]] on May 1, so she should not be working at the school on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo). (However, one must also note that the episode in which this was established has apparently been disregarded from canon in wake of the controversy associated with it)
