As to Dalai Lama eating meat, it turns out that Buddhism doesn't actually require vegetarianism. I had some veggie friends who went on a peace trek that was run by some buddhists, and the told the veggies that their dietary needs were slowing down the march, and that they were being selfish. Gotta hand it to the buddhists--
