( I know some very friendly trees with a definite opinion on the subject !-) Let's face it , folks , vegeterianism (sp?) for the sake of "... not killing living beings..." is hypocritical . So where do we draw the line ? Is it OK to kill innocent little bacteria that reside on your skin ? You do that every time you wash your hands. Without belaboring the point any further , I will cast my vote with those advocating personal choice AND personal RESPONSIBILITY ! For one does not go without the other . not afraid to read a sermon once in a while B.Reytblat (...pyuxvv!brt) P.S.There are , by the way , other reasons for being a vegeterian . Some people are simply allergic to animal proteins and fats , and simply must be vegeterian .
