In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Well yes, it does. I can see how you meant the words differently than I read them. So, to that degree yes.

Coolness!

The alternative explanation would be that when I read Clordio's post opening with "I am very conflicted..." then I read yossarian's reply I felt it was a direct response to Clordio telling him what to eat and not eat.

Ohhhhh! In thaaaaaaat case, sure, but the difference is that Clorido asked for advice.

That makes all the difference in the world!

If someone asks me directly what I think about whatever, I have full freedom to offer my opinion truthfully. Apparently, that's what happened in this case: Clorido asked and yossarian answered.

When I said I didn't recall anyone telling anyone specifically what to eat, I meant unsolicited. I don't recall anyone saying "John, you should follow xyz diet and it will clear up your xyz illness." I don't recall anyone doing that.

I may be wrong. After 3 years, it's possible I just don't remember that happening.
