[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is akin to someone who is Jewish not eating pork; it's part of their belief system.[/quote]

What religion is THAT?[/quote]

You don't realize there are religions that don't eat pork? 2 out of the 3 major ones don't.[/quote]

PP here - I was referring to the "vegetarian" religion.  The poster compared being a vegetarian to being Jewish.  Nonsense.[/quote]

I think you misunderstood. The pp was saying that being vegetarian isn't simply a matter of not liking meat. It functions more like a religious tenet in the sense of being an inviolable rule instead of a preference.[/quote]

Followers of the religion Jainism do not eat meat or root vegetables. I have some friends that follow this religion. But religion is a choice, it is not a medical necessity.[/quote]

Right, yes, that's true! I forgot about Jains. (I love Jains.) I had a great time eating in India, just on a side note. It was such a pleasure to have my diet be the default, and to get to eat and eat and eat.[/quote]
