> I don't mean to be rude on my first post but you happened to pick an issue very close to my heart (I'm a vegan). There are plenty of other protien sources. You don't need meat to be healthy and happy. Meat is murder, and it's no better than eating humans!! You wouldn't eat a human, but a cow is fine? The thing is a cow is probably better than a human because how many wars have cows started? Think on that for a bit...

Well, you're welcome here as long 1) you can stand being around us, and 2) the Management can stand you being here. :)

That said, don't exhaust yourself on the issue. I'm between Ticia(ovo lacto vegetarian) and most others(eat any meat as long as it tastes good and their doctors haven't said anything against it) in strictness on myself, and I've heard of more people around here becoming vegetarian, than just regular kosher. :)
