I do not presume to tell other people what they should or shouldn’t eat, and as such, my personal diet choices are mine, and mine alone, requiring no supporting arguments whatsoever.

Hold on, Clarice. A huge part of the vegetarian argument is that diet choices do affect everyone else in a very real way. As Freedman pointed out, its pretty much accepted that vegetarian is many times more efficient in terms of land-use, which will become a major issue before the end of the 21st century. So I don’t think you can use such a solipsistic, personal argument any more than a car driver can say that his burning of fossil fuels is only a ‘personal’ choice.

And as to your last comment, your memory is short.
Better to be clever than a hypocrite

– I think you want “Consent”. Wouldn’t usually be a big deal, but you’re calling specific attention to the word.

Also, well written article. Argues a point while largely avoiding rhetoric.

(See what I mean? I rest my case)

Saying something doesn’t make it true you know.
Your comment is meaningless.
Please stop wasting everybody’s time with your numskull remarks.
Amen.
