I have nothing against vegetarians, just some of the lame-brained reason why "their"
eating habits are better than somebody else's.  Before this seems like a flame,
there are a lot of good reasons for not eating meat just as there are good reasons
for eating meat.  It's a person's choice.

Geez....it almost seems like being a vegatarian reduces your sense of humor.
So darn testy.

I personally get offended when someone gets in my face about what I'm eating
when I'm eating.  (Bill, time to take a poll.  How many "meat eaters" get hasseled
by vegetarians vs how many vegatarians get hasseled by "meat eaters" during meals)
My supervisor tried that once when I was eating lunch.  "That food is not healthy!"
I looked her in the eyes and said, "When the end comes, you'll be starving while
looking for 'healthy' food, and I gonna survive 'cuz I can eat anything!"  She
never tried that again.  (It was a joke...)

BTW, my favorite steakhouse always serves a gigantic salad first.
One of the reasons I go there.
