Is this exclusively a black thing? Is choosing not to eat meat "just for health reasons" such a bad thing? I tried vegetarianism(?) for like half a year, and it comes with so many preconceived notions and expectations from others, but bottom line, it's a personal choice. If any of you are deeply hurt by this, to the point of NOT liking Erykah anymore, then there's something wrong with you, not the person you're criticizing.
