Another way in which vegetarians are hypocrites.
Why is it? When you invite a vegetarian over for dinner they expect you to provide some sort of vegetarian substitute for the main course. Yet if you go to their house for dinner they don't offer you a meaty substitute for whatever-it-is-they-made-out-of-soy.

Nah... BUT, the day I'll hear a head of letuce cry, I might change opinion.
It really looks like a healthy lifestyle. I could probably reduce my animal protein intake, but not stop eating it altogether..... Mmmmm which reminds me of the beef jerky batch I'm about to prepare.

I think vegetarians are for the most part self indulgent urbanites comfortable enough with their level of material wealth and bored enough with what passes for their lives' most pressing issues that they have decided to make choosing what they do or do not eat a major focus of attention and effort in their lives. It's a hobby, a topic of conversation, a political statement, a moral stance, an expression of individuality, and a superior neediness (like the Princess in the folk tale The Princess And The Pea, the vegetarian's psyche cannot bear the moral challenge of eating a fellow animal just as the Princess' delicate skin cannot bear the pressure of a single dried pea underneath her while she sleeps...no matter how many mattresses lie between her and the pea).
The human digestive system will process an amazing variety of foodstuffs, and possibly no other omnivore on Earth eats a greater range of material: from whale blubber to fungi to sea urchin and insects, reptiles, amphibians, roots, berries, nuts, eggs, and pork cracklings, to fermented vegetables and beyond. With the exception of common grass, if it is digestible at all then we eat it. So if a person decides to specialize, and avoid whole categories of food intake (such as meat), they can do that and live a healthy life. Yet, as the OP points out, unless a person eats only carrion and carrion byproducts, they will be consuming some live organism---including plants, and there goes their supposed moral superiority. Life feeds upon life. It's how the entire pyramid of life is constructed. There's nothing wrong with that.

And I'm not against hunting or small family farms, btw. Besides having seen a few too many videos that were disturbing, the day I really quit eating meat was when I was driving next to a truck full of cattle and had eye contact with one of them looking out at me, so sad. I still can't get that image out of my head. Call me a softy or whatever, but I saw what i saw and that cow was sad, scared and I love not just animals, but people too.
