Marc,
There really are some very good reasons for being a vegetarian. Being
one does not make anyone a nutso. World population is predicted to
peak at around 9.2 billion by 2050 and we're already having trouble
feeding what we have. Something like 16 pounds of grain go into a
pound of beef, iirc, 4 pounds for a pound of chicken. There are
environmental benefits, too. I've not quit all meat eating, but I have
reduced it a great deal. I also try to eat chicken instead of beef
and avoid endangered species like big tunas. To each their own though.
Just saying there's logical reasons an intelligent person might decide
to be a vegetarian.

This is bunk, Mark. If you choose to cheat yourself, more power to
you. But do not suggest that you lunacy is some sort of norm for
the rest of us.
Meat tastes great. Vegetables taste awful. Go figure, and, pray,
do not try to suggest that I adopt your nutso clinical doings.
