I like meat. I don't like people telling me I shouldn't eat it. I have relatives and friends that are vegetarian, and we get on just fine. Occasionally, I will eat the meat-free option, and I no longer drink dairy milk as a matter of preference. It's all good to me until someone starts getting preachy.
That's not true. I hated tons of vegtables when I became a vegetarian, most in fact. Over the years I've learned to love them. Taste preferences are very easy to change.
