i often encounter people (mostly chinese) use the é…’è‚‰ç©¿è‚ è¿‡ (wine and meat simply passes through the intestine) excuse when they see us eat vegetarian.
i think people anyhow use this phrase is a discredit to Buddhism; high level 10th bhumni bodhisattva; "Ji Gong".
if one heard this, u can rebut them and said "if u can eat shit and simply let it pass through ur intestine, then u can use the phrase, if not, don't use the phrase!"
if "shit" is too coarse, use "rusty metal", as it's a true story recorded in the Book of Buddhist Saints. He was è¬å¦‚金山活佛, similar to the Ji Gong tv story.

like this new 'twist' of the original idea.
