    As a clarification, i am a vegan, not a vegetarian.
    I've posted a number of threads discussing veganism relating to animal abuse, health issues, environmental issues and so on. This was not a thread to discuss those things, but if you'd like me to link you to a previous thread i happily will.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Note to Noir: Don't ever eat the mashed potatoes if you ever visit McKinney, TX and eat at Hutchins.

    Really? It doesn't take a mind-reader to understand that Noir was posting about something he is proud of, and that ridiculing that by posting gleefully about eating meat could be insulting to him.

    In addition, just the fact that so many people keep stating their love affair with meat, should make it pretty obvious how hard it can be for some people to stop. Not to mention the flack that vegetarians/vegans get just for being so.

    So, even if it is somehow "easy" to stop, it wouldn't make Noir's accomplishment any less, or any less worthy of some respect just for his perseverance. Something which Jim and Jeff have shown they understand. At the very least, if it doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment, just ignore the thread altogether.

    In sum, everything you need to understand Noir's "mind" is right here for the reading.

    You're expecting (demanding?) too much. Note to public: This is how you find freedom. Refuse delivery when ANYONE makes unreasonable demands on you. Refuse to bear that burden then throw it off your shoulders!

    I don't think so.
    If I don't understand something I read here, I either
    1. Ask for an explanation, or if for some reason I don't want to do that, I
    2. Post elsewhere

    What I do not do, is criticize it, and then defend my point by arguing that one needs to be a mind-reader to understand.

    Especially if understanding is an on-going problem of mine.

    Uh oh. I HATE arguing with Abbey. He doesn't mind insulting/ridiculing us. If you dish it out ... learn to take it.

    I'll make a note - thought cheese is ok as vegetarian as long as it does not have rennet.

    I know it's not vegan.

    Local cheese makers here use thistle juice instead of rennet.

    Cheese can be vegetarian, however, parmesan is a legally protected type of cheese, and as such it must be made with calf rennet.

    I think some Parmesan I buy says "vegetarian" on the packaging.
