I don't personally feel that it is my mission as a vegetarian to convert
people (and know a ton of veggies this way too).  I guess my opinion is
that anyone who looks at the facts long enough will be too disgusted to 
eat meat (chicken and beef anyway)...

One thing that someone said back there was theat meat eating is natural.  This
really isn't true, we don't have the enzymes to break down meat in our stomachs
(which is why you have to cook meat), can't fight off the bacteria that
lives in meat (another reasons to cook it), and don't really have the teeth
for it (two cannines and a bunch of molars).  As far as I know the only meat
that our clostest relatives (the primates) eat are dead bugs and maybe small 
rodents.  They mostly subside on vegetable matter.
