They call themselves vegetarians and your opinion on the
subject carries no weight with them or me.

I can smell if someone eats mammalian flesh or organs.
It is a very distinctive smell. It is the smell of
cannibalism, really.

This is the kind of sensititivy you develop after decades
of eating only plants.

How about mushrooms and nuts? How about flowers? How about yeast
used to leaven bread? How about the fungi used to make tempeh?
How about all manner of spices from around the world. Cinnamon

They are in a completely different class from herbies. From
