In regards to eating meat

[Ali Quadir]

So are you saying you think this should be a taboo topic? That if someone starts a discussion about eating animals, in a discussion forum, the vegetarians should not participate?

No, whatever gave you that idea? I'm suggesting that like sex soccer and politics, it is a topic *I* learned to ignore because nothing good ever comes of it. Too many vegetarians can't handle it without becoming judgmental. And too many meat eaters can't handle it without having to make the point that they're meat eaters who enjoy eating meat. It's just the way it is. I find that if we ignore our dietary choices there are plenty of things that we can talk about that do not polarize.

Fact of life Monica, we never convince anyone by starting with a full frontal charge.
