Mmm.... tasty vegetarians... yes, they are quite tasty.
Cows, chickens, deer, buffalo... all quite yummy!
We Humans grew up eating meat and veggies. MEAT and veggies. And fruits. That's how it's supposed to be.
It's blatantly simple to know this for certain if you've ever actually known a vegetarian. There are good (intelligent) ones and bad (stupid, unhealthy) ones. The good ones work very hard to educate themselves about exactly how to eat so they don't make themselves unhealthy. You see, they (we all) require certain dietery elements that are derived from MEAT but can be replicated if we eat the correct amount and combination of other foods. The unhealthy veggies don't understand this and thus veggie themselves right into the hospital.
Now what's my point in all that? Yes, vegetarians can be taught to consume the correct types and amounts of foods to replace the meat that their Human diet requires, but if it's that much work and it's a replacement... and the vegetarians who don't do the work correctly essentially kill themselves... shouldn't that just tell you something?
Personally, I don't care whether you eat cow, deer, fish, chicken, duck, dog, cat, rabbit, (insert your favorite animal here) or stick to a vegetarian or strict vegan diet. Just please do so in a way that you're not eating yourself to death by missing critical pieces. And don't look sideways at me when I have a large slab of freshly grilled venison on my plate and a huge smile on my face. That's who we Humans are, what we grew up as, and what we will always be.
