I don't give a hoot if someone wants to be a vegetarian or not. I tried it once, (for dietary reasons) and enjoyed it, but I like pork too much to have lived on it forever.

However, there are two times that I hated disliked 2 different people because of their vegetarianism. Both times, I was with a small group who were going out for a Chinese meal --you know the kind, where dishes are shared. (I take my Chinese food very seriously, and ordering a balanced meal is an art.) Well, we were ordering, and a voice pops up and says "I'm vegetarian!" It threw everything off! To accomodate one person (who didn't want to order her very own thing) we had things most people didn't want, just so she could have a taste of everything.

Why does it seem as tho most vegetarians are female. The ones that I know are mostly female.

Additionally, Westerners, urged on by government health agencies, have reduced their intake of eggs, cream, lard, beef and pork.

You know something, THAT is our diet! Eggs, cream, lard, beef and pork. Throw in a little chicken and pizza too. My kids are looking MUCH healthier since we switched to WHOLE MILK. Now we just need a cow and chickens :-)

Well that's my experience too... Some of my buds in the local running club are vegetarian though, we even got a token full-out vegan... More likely than not that highpitched screech "oh I'm a vegetarian" does belong to a chick in my experience though...
