Im sure this doesnt apply to all, but I find that most people who say they dont eat meat are about as obnoxious as a televangelist on speed. Its their cause, their obsession and their religion. Too often it seems apparent that this cathartic, life changing decision was made out of a need to fill some unrelated gap in their lives. And, of course, if your goal is to appear enlightened and above the crowd, what good is it unless you manage to work the subject into every conversation youre ever involved in? What they never seem to get is that it takes most people very little time to mentally relegate these folks to the deluded but harmless category. So, the fact that so many forget that theyre standing around pontificating in their Birkies and leather watchbands never comes as much of a surprise.
