I'm a vegetarian, but not for health reasons. My great-grandfather, also a vegetarian, died a very, very painful death from stomach cancer after decades of not eating meat. So who knows?
I concur. And let's not forget those vegans and vegetarians who crow about the environmental impact of eating meat.
I already live in a city where I ride the train daily. I don't own a car. I have given up mood lighting in my home in using energy-efficient bulbs. I drink soy milk in my coffee instead of cream and sugar.
Yet some of the articles I read would have me slit my wrists over the fact that I eat meat (not every day, but I do eat it) and drink milk.
