Actually, what drove me to post was the completely incongruous image that flashed through my mind upon reading the thread title. Threatened? Hardly. I figure the more vegans and vegetarians avoid meat the more meat left for me to eat - IOW, thanks for eliminating yourselves from the competition for my meals!
No, I fully accept that some people prefer eating veggies, fruit and other carbs. (In truth, I must explain that it was the egregious consumption of non-meats/non-fats that got me to my over 630 pound maximum weight and that by switching to a high-protein/low-carb diet has - without a smidgen of exercise - enabled me to lose nearly 80 pounds of that and the weight loss continues. But that is probably more due to my insistence upon avoiding *ALL* corn and corn by-products.
Still, I cannot deny that for a large percentage of the population, a vegan/vegetarian diet works well.)
