A very well written piece on Slate.
Those of us who want to avoid the social nightmare have to hide our vegetarianism like an Oxycontin addiction, because admit it, omnivores: You know nothing about us. Do we eat fish? Will we panic if confronted with a hamburger? Are we dying of malnutrition? You have no clue. So read on, my flesh-eating friendsâ€"I believe it's high time we cleared a few things up.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they haev to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is NOTHING.
(I freakin LOVED that ad campaign)

Looks like someone follows Fark too! Personally, I got a kick out of the headline too:
Quoting: Fark.com [Slate] [Interesting] The US has 10 million vegetarians and 290 million normal people

I have been surfing and doing Martial Arts over 25yrs now. I mix in many other sports, just not consistently.
I've decided to make strength training my primary focus now..

My philosophy is: Whatever blows your hair back/skirt up/floats your boat.
Too many people take exception to anyone that doesn't live the way they do. Perhaps because they are confronted with having to evaluate their own choices? I don't know, I just have more pressing concerns than what food choices another human makes.
Eat or don't eat whatever you like, I for one, will not judge you for it.

Haha. That's a good article.
I was turned off by the pescetarian comment. It really is the rhetoric of someone who is a vegetarian for ethical reason. But, I'm a pescetarian (i eat fish and dairy products) simply because I chose to have a different diet. Being in college, I'm sort of forced into a situation of crappy food. The things I have learned as a vegetarian have allowed me to reevaluate the way I eat, and to eat better things.
But still, good article though. Gotta love the hemp connection from intro to outro. Sign of a good writer.
