I totally admire people with the strength to say, 'hey, no. I'm not eating meat as I think it's wrong' but I don't have that strength myself. And sometimes I just can't bring myself to eat meat but that's just me being weird sometimes. Also seeing programs about slaughter don't really help the appetite very much!
I think the reason I could never really be vegetarian is that I have a hard time linking the meat on my plate with the animals I see almost every day. Does that make sense?
I'm a post-modern vegetarian: I eat meat, ironically. :D
... I swear I didn't ask you that question just to set up a Bill Bailey quote. >>
I do understand what you mean about not linking the two together. I have to think about that sometimes. I'm not uncomfortable with it though. I dunno, maybe I should feel squicky about it, but I just don't. Plus it tastes nice. XD So no, I'm not a vegetarian.

I'm glad you got that! And I totally understand what you mean. Sometimes in work I go '....I'm not sure about this' but it never sticks.
I liked that question! :D
