Don't make the assumption that all vegetarians are disgusted
by what others eat, M Terribile!  There are a number of reasons
why people choose not to eat meat -- and I would guess that the
most common reason is one of personal health (weight control,
cholesterol, etc.).  My reasons had nothing to do with abhorring
meats; as a matter of fact, I very much like it.

However, if there are some people out there who are offended
by the eating habits of others... well, I wish you luck in your
life.  I have the feeling that you'll be wasting a lot of time
feeling anger and disgust, instead of happiness...

Ever notice how vegetarians try to put down
meat eaters by calling meat FLESH instead of MEAT?
Sure, the definition of flesh includes skelital
muscle (the substance of meat), but I suspect
that vegetarians aren't so concerned about using
proper definitions as they are in painting an ugly
picture of meat through grammatical connotation.

Why don't we move this discussion(?) about meat-eaters vs. vegetarians to
net.infinite_argument and get on with the recipes (veggie and meaty) and
such this newsgroup was created for???

	If I'm not mistaken, A "Flesh-eater" called meat flesh in the first
	 place.
