You're not a vegetarian for moral reasons though,
so does that really matter?

True, I only did it so I'
fat fingered fail, I only did it to eat better. Why not stick to it as they would?

because there's no health advantage.
it's not a religion, you don't have to obey all the "rules" so that you get into veggie heaven.

edit: although it's good to point this sort of thing out to someone who has vegetarians coming round.

well true, I disagree about the health benefits though
Stopping eating steak regularly, fried chicken, low quality burgers, salty bacon and whatever..and eating much more fresh fruit and veg?

I'm not a militant vegetarian, or vegan..the militant viewpoint is ridiculous haha.

I mean there's no health advantage in worrying about rennet in your cheese.
We eat vegetarian up to twice a week, partly for health, partly because it's cheaper.

I used to know a vegan, he was strict about what he'd buy for himself but wasn't that fussed about cross-contamination and the like, which I thought was fair enough.

The reason you're eating better isn't really because you've cut meat out,
it's because now that you have cut meat out, you're thinking about what you are eating a lot more.

although most people in Western society tend to eat too much meat.
especially red meat.

Yeah.
But you can cut down on red meat without cutting it out all together, it's not an all or nothing thing.
