I think every issue has it's radicals on both sides who find some reason to constantly get angry at and attack the other side. There are those meat lovers who seem to get offended by the very existence of vegetarians, and vegetarians who go out of their way to call anyone who isn't a vegetarian something with "killer" in the name. sigh Can't we all just get along?

I am not strict about it, but I eat vegetarian most of the time, as hard as that is to do in a country that doesn't seem to understand the concept and tries to put meat in everything, even "vegetarian" dishes. We don't really get any of the "tastes/looks like meat but isn't" vegetarian foods here, so my only experience of them is when I visit home.
