In regards to eating meat

[Ali Quadir]

Thats' hilarious Ali! I must admit that it does get a bit tedious explaing to people why I don't eat meat or listening to the commentary on why meat is good for you etc...there are so many more interesting things to talk about, and I don't think about it too much.

Glad to be of service All you came to do was eat. Now you're eating with your meal company going on auto pilot across a road you've probably seen hundreds of times. I know that feeling.

But I find that it makes some people very uncomfortable if I don't eat meat, and ends up becoming some big deal when really it's not to me.

Thats the root of the problem for me too. Maybe many meat eaters experience a slight tinge of guilt. When a vegetarian comes around that guilt is triggered. Or the opposite response, the "meatlust"! Especially if the veggie goes all holier than thou on everyone. Which is likely to happen if people start being difficult about it.
