Well, I don't like bacon or pork anyway... so I don't lose much there.
I was talking to my friend about this today (she was veggie for 11 months but broke down at the mall and took a free chicken sample, LOL) and she said some of the fake-meat stuff isn't too bad. Besides, I'm big on pasta and that stuff.
I just realized that the fact that I won't dissect things in Biology (tomorrow we're supposed to be going crayfish... I'm not) is a bit hypocrtitical if I eat meat, and I don't think the taste of it is worth thinking about all the animals and what they go though.
Ah, yeah, and also... There's 13 million vegetarians in the USA. That's probablly something like 100 million less animals being slaughtered a year... so yeah, I wouln't call it "pointless."
And Dru, I realise that, but those animals haven't been kept in cages their entire lives that they can't even turn around in (many of the pigs and cows kept by the farms that supply meat to places like Burger King) only to have their throat slit becuase some lazy worker wouldn't at least stun them before he went for the kill.
