Actually, I don't eat meat every day.  I like vegetarian food,
in fact, Mollie Katzen's cookbooks are among my favorites.
(Just take her recipes and cut the cholesterol-containing
ingredients in half -- she's really into the eggs, cheese and 
so forth.)  


Why would I have pretentions if I did eat meat every day?
I don't follow.
