where consuming meat by the average citizen was acceptable in their view. As you said people come to their vegetarianism for various reasons. There are probably more than a handful that don't have animal rights as their motivation.

You say I'm being a propagandist, but I am not try to dissuade anyone from their choices. But members of this group have refered to me as a hypocrite, a moron, and a fucking idiot. Just for asking questions and stating an opinion. I think I've been pretty polite about it, too.

But again, the OP makes an assertion that I find unlikely. That's all.
