I'm not a vegetarian, yet, but I am a restrictive omnivore. I only eat seafood, and occasionally poultry. I gave up red meat, pork, lamb, etc a while ago and I'm eating ever more increasingly vegetarian.

It's amazing, because I still actually eat some meat, and vegetarianism is a preference, not something I insist upon, and yet I still manage to catch he** from people anyway.

It's not unnatural to eat this way; in fact, quite the opposite. Eating gobs of animal flesh at each meal is not natural, and its downright unhealthy. Our bodies can't handle it, and our planet cannot handle the demand.

Still, it's a backwards world when people who are actually helping protect the planet, and enabling millions who otherwise wouldn't get to eat have a sit at the world's dinner table, are labeled as the 'freaks'.

Ah well. It's hard not to moralize when confronted by an overweight, carnivorous, burger-chomping, SUV-driving individual who seriously believes what *he's* doing falls within the natural order of things.
