Why should they go away?  Because you don't want to face the truth or the 
reality of life?  Maybe you should move to 'net.recipes' or something if 
you can't take it.    It's high time that people started really looking 
at life the way it is, and not the way they *want it to be*.  If we never
look at the truth, we never change or grow.   After all, isn't that what 
we're all trying to do by being on this network in the first place?  To 
expand our awareness and knowledge beyond the confines of our everyday 
environment?  Why not push it a little further and really grow for a change?

Those people who are vegetarians are that way for a reason.  Health is one
reason, but in my opinion is not good enough.  Why?  Because those who become
vegetarian only for health reasons tend to drop off when the going gets tough
(by that I mean inconvenient, or getting hassled).  Only those who are
vegetarian with a principle behind it stay that way.  So why shouldn't we 
share our beliefs and principles about why we are vegetarian with other 
vegetarians (and non-vegetarians)?  The only way to spread the knowledge
is to let other people hear it.  If you don't like it, don't read it.
Then it's your loss.  But don't deprive others of the privilege.
