Man, sometimes you just have to look at yourself and say I am kind of a douchebag about vegetarianism...and I'm sort of okay with that!

Because to me, it is both funny and accurate when I respond to a Very Earnest and Sincere Vegetarian's I just can't eat something that used to be a living, feeling creature with my I could never give up eating chicken because a) it is delicious and b) I have met chickens and they are horrible creatures who deserve to die.

Basically, I wouldn't want to make light of you as a person, but when it comes to your choices, especially choices you try to persuade others to make with guilt-tripping, sweeping generalisations, and ridiculously over-the-top analogies? Fair game.

DUDE, THIS! Holy crap, for real, amen, and word.

I have dietary restrictions, and I sure as hell don't try to impose them on anyone. You're cool, I'm cool, we can all be fucking cool so long as you're not a self-righteous, woe-the-poor-beasties, vegetarian-equals-world-peace asswad.

Huh. I had more to say on that than I thought.
