I respect everyone. My wife and I cooked shish-kabob for the entire physics department, and we cooked the meat separate from the vegetables and fruit so our vegetarian friends could eat them knowing they (the veggies) never touched the meat. They were even cooked on different cookers.

Almost all dinners for friends includes a variety of vegetarian fares.

However, I don't respect someone just for being a vegetarian (or vegan or whatever). What someone eats is their business. Respect is given regardless.
