I think the opening premise of "Eating habits cf Sexual habits" is a bit false. If I understand the question correctly we are being asked if tolerance should be applied to the meat eaters in the same way as it is now applied to black and gay people. Well, the two cannot be compared. Being black or gay is not a choice while eating meat or not is. OK, it may seem a little intolerant of meat eaters but by insisting that you should be able to eat meat wherever you want, is that not being intolerant of a strict vegetarian lifestyle? Maybe the question should be more like eating habits cf religious habits then we would be comparing like with like?
