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.
