I haven't checked in here for a while now... but thanks, Frank. You seem really committed to veganism - that's brilliant. lol - I think I'm now quite used to the feeble attempts at humour (some, unfortunately, aren't so feeble - that's when I resent them *grin*)... and I don't mind them so much :-).
Earlier I used to try to *convert* people to vegetarianism, because I thought it wasn't *right* to kill animals, and an animal life should be as sacred as a human being's. And although I'm still confused about that part of it all, I've given up the *converting*. Whatever I may feel, I can't change other people. And maybe it isn't in anyone's hands to change anything... and there's no *right* or *wrong*. So now I eat what I want... and let people eat what they want. I do believe that people should at least be informed about their food, though... because some have absolutely NO idea about what goes into it (and in India especially, this IS a big deal!). But I've realsied that there's almost NEVER any point in arguing. It's only fun sometimes :-).
