You know, that has always seemed very strange to me.  Whenever
I tell people I'm vegetarian they say, "Oh, I guess that's not
so bad anymore, now that you can get those meat replacements."

The idea of meat being a fundamental part of the human diet is
so ingrained in most people that they cannot conceive of someone
not wanting to eat it.  Myself, I have no desire whatsoever to eat
meat in effigy.

I wonder, when children are raised in a meatless environment are they
completely disgusted when they first see flesh-eaters?
