I probably didn't use the best word choice there, and did not intend to insult anyone. I meant to imply that people have been doing things a certain way for a long time, and habits are hard to break.

Yes. However, like I said before, I do not believe plants are "alive" as animals and humans are.

Perhaps I misread that quote, but that was how I took it. And to me, eating children is the same as eating cats or dogs or chickens or cows. I do think that is a sensible question. It was not meant to be outlandish.

I can't speak for any other vegetarians out there, but I personally do not believe that I am a better person than anybody else, including omnivores. Obviously I think my beliefs are correct and yours are not (that is the nature of beliefs), but I do not think they make me a better person than you (you being omnivores, not any one person in particular).
