There are many people on this board who aren't vegetarian/vegan. I am not but I still have the respect of the majority of members. I have high respect for those that are vegetarian and vegan and I have respect for those that aren't.
This board does promote vegetarianism and veganism but it does not turn away "meat" eaters just because they eat meat. We do have a vegetarian forum for those who want to learn more about that lifestyle but we don't force people to become vegetarians or vegans.
I have cut down on eating meat and maybe one day will take the full leap but when I am ready. But to my knowledge, I haven't lost the respect of others on this board for my decisions.
