I gotta check that out. There were a few hardcore bands back in the early 90's that had songs about being vegetarian. Gorilla Biscuits - Cats and Dogs Burn - Shall be Judged Into Another - Herbivore Youth Of Today - No More Those were the kind of bands I was listening to when I became vegetarian and I'm sure they had an influence. Skye: I'm totally with you on that. I certainly don't try to convince my friends to become vegetarian. It's a personal choice. In fact, most of my friends are carnivores. I did know a guy years ago who was completely offended by vegetarians. He believed "God" gave us animals to consume, and that by not eating meat I was going against God's design. Totally fucking ridiculous. Diane:

What I don't get is people who take it as a personal affront that I don't eat meat. It's not like I'm pushing my views on them. It doesn't bother me if they are sitting across from me eating meat; I just can't do it myself. Makes me physically ill, like the other night when I discovered little pieces of bacon mixed in with the string beans & almonds I was eating. I’m a veggie too, JJ, and I loved your analogy.

I don't miss any of those foods. But I do kinda miss street vendor hotdogs. Mojotek: I've hugged an anchovy. It stunk up my shirt. Poobah: I don't understand why so many people enjoy adding fish flavor to non-fishy foods. That's just weird. Antickpix: Or we could give them bionic hooves like Robocop. "Sorry we cut off your hooves, Horsey. But now you can shoot lasers out of your feet." Maine: Yes! I try to be careful when buying pretty much any type of soup. Eddie: You're no heathen. J.Mo: Altiods? Whoops. KT: Thanks. I thought of that while in Siem Reap. The driver made reference to "barking beef." Apparently people there used to eat dogs and perhaps some still do. Christa:

I couldn't put it better myself, when I was a vegetarian. Of course, now I eat meat. But that's beside the point... I love your ‘its like eating part of a domestic animal’ analogy (to paraphrase.)
