Hm. I don't brag about not eating meat. Or eating bananas, or any other vegetables. It doesn't bother me to eat at a table with other people who are eating meat, and I had nothing against Ricky's post about her meal. Generally my vegetarianism only comes up if someone invites me to a meal (and if I haven't had a chance to pre-warn them, I've been known to just eat what's on my plate, though I think I'd be pushing my luck if I tried that with beef these days.)
It's always easier to remember the obnoxious examples of any given category. I wonder how many people we know who are vegetarians and don't make a point of rubbing it in to everyone they meet?
