I'm glad you mentioned that. I don't eat meat. I stopped about 8 years ago, so I've grown accustomed to the things people say. I find it interesting that vegeterians are routinely asked to provide a "reason" for not eating meat, while few people who ask these questions have a well thought out "reason" for eating meat.
For me, it's just what I'm comfortable with. I don't have any hardcore idealogy behind it. Actually, I stopped eating red meat because I was a bit grossed out after hearing BDP's song "Beef". Then I lived in a college dorm and the chicken was nasty. I never much liked fish, so I just quit, okay? :-)
