Not Prepared To Give Up Burgers And BBQ Brisket, But I'll Listen

You'd think, based on what you see in the papers and online and on TV, that the number of people claiming to be vegetarians must be way, way up. Turns out that there really aren't more vegetarians than ever out there -- polls show the number in the U.S. remaining relatively tiny. But there sure are a lot of articles and books and recipes pushing veganism and vegetarianism, so you'll be forgiven for your misapprehension. The topic, though, is whether maybe the vegetarians and vegans are on to something anyway. There ARE compelling arguments for them, just as carnivores can make a compelling argument in favor of meat-based protein. But the numbers aren't what you'd expect. (Washington Post)
