I have no problem with people CHOOSING to eat a vegetarian diet, but I
get the impression that you wouldn't give them a choice. Remember that
free will is what separates humans from domestic animals -- people get
to choose what they eat, dogs and cattle don't. If you had your way,
people would be fed rations of nutritionally-balanced and
environmentally-friendly Soylent Green.
