I am weak-minded and selfish because I eat meat? I had no idea.

Hey Doc!!! Great to see you back! The place just hasn't been the same without you....now just don't go spoiling things by upsetting any of those hyper-sensitive Canadian academic types..... 
anyway, YES, I am both vegetarian and Jewish, which means that the average life expectancy of the humble pig is slightly longer round these parts...  |
Everything above is hilarious.
And I am a carnivore. I love meat.

Not at all difficult. Apparently my iron levels are far below what they should be, and i'm fine. Im fit, and i never get sick. And i have been this way all my life. I strongly believe that there is nothing unhealthy about not eating meat. And you don't have to eat mountains of spinach either.

I think it's all about moderation, and trying to eat organic/free range and not factory farmed. That stuff tastes like crap anyway.

I've been called a vegetable before. Does that count ?  In my teen days, we used to call girls by some of these names - tomatoes, peels (des pelures, think about the comparison between a vegetable & a human). In both cases, you could say it referred to some, er ... oral activity that we dreamed of, but never quite got to "indulge" in.

^^^ and of course Andrea, if you continue to refer to 'beautiful' girls as 'pieces of meat', you might 'haven't the fiancee' for quite a bit longer....

Here we go again. I've made my opinions on this matter clear many times before. Yes, I am a vegetarian, and it is because of my compassion for all animals.
