| 15. I had a roommate who was mostly vegetarian |
|
in that she would go for months without eating meat. She wasn't philosphically committed to it- it was just her diet. So if an occasion came up for eating meat she would do it, and usually end up with abdominal pain. She accepted the explanation that you get a level of enzymes for digesting meat when you stop eating it. If she kept eating meat it would get better in a few days.

I fell from grace due to my mother's breaded pork chops. I was violently ill for 24 hours |

I think vegetarians being "sickened" by meat is a whole lot of drama. |

That's what I meant by "some upset" - I wasn't intending to trivialize the real impacts |

Moderation might be the way to go on this. So no Brazilian BBQ buffet! |
