Good, then; so you recognize that to think of all vegetarianism as motivated by adolescent "cries for help" and "ethics as fashion statement" is fucking ignorant.
From what I have observed in much of western civilization, that is more or less true.
Of course not ALL vegetarians are like that - I think it's foolish to assume that she implied ALL of them were.
Many of the vegetarians and vegans I have known adopt the lifestyle because it's just so chic. I've also met a few people that are vegetarians/vegans whom you wouldn't even know that about them after getting to know them quite well. It just stands out to me that many people adopt the 'holier than thou' attitude when they adopt the lifestyle merely for fashionably individualistic reasons - it also stands out to me that those people are really super eager to let everyone KNOW that they are herbivores. Because, ya know, that's like, so damn cool and everyone wants to hear about how evil it is to eat Disney characters.

I am a pothound, I eat mostly anything. Sea food, vegi's, chicken, pork, beef, basically if it tastes good im eating it for lunch or dinner as I only eat those two meals anyway.
Oh I love hunting and fishing so yeah... killing animals is not a issue for me.
soy isn't bad either... I dated a vegan once. It didn't work out when I cooked.. all she could eat was my garlic mushrooms, otherwise everything I made had a meat product or something that wasn't cool for her... her loss.

hahaha, me too! Oh man, I must be really fucked up deep down, but it is soooo satisfying seeing a vegetarian fall and succumb to the temptations of meaty goodness.
It's kind of like seeing a priest beat the shit out of a cop.
