Some of my best friends are vegetarians. LOL
Members of my family are vegetarians. I love vegetables. When vegetarians come to my house they are surprised that they can eat plenty of my food. One friend who is not only a vegetarian but eats only raw vegetables joked with me one Thanksgiving that I was the only person he had ever met who ate more raw vegetables than he did.
But I don't like being told that vegetarians are superior to me because in addition to oodles of my beloved vegetables I eat some meat.
You go your way. I go mine. There is not reason for either of us to be aggressive. No one will be defensive if you are not aggressive. Let meat-eaters do their thing. And you will can do yours.
Always good to encourage people to eat their veggies. But why bother them for eating meat? That's their decision just as much as it's your decision not to eat meat.
Peace.
