Okay, to try and answer everyone at once:
I feel no guilt whatsoever, because I eat meat and animal products.
I am perfectly happy to look at a lovely little deer, skipping merrily and frolicking about the fields... and then serve dear, sweet little Bambi with a selection of freshly grown vegetables the next day.
Just because you feel guilty about it, doesn't mean I do.
I'm actually rather proud of the fact that I can cook a rare steak to perfection.
Secondly, are any of you doctors? Do any of you have a medical degree? No?
Come back and challenge what real doctors and professionals who actually know what they're talking about have already told me when you do, then.
Lastly, I am glad that the person that started this thread has apologised, and realises that both the thread title and her first post are highly inappropriate.
I am sorry that one girl was rude to you, but that does not give you an excuse to be rude to everyone that does not share your views.
Saying that the "common omnivore" are "all the same" heavily suggests that they are somehow inferior to you.
But I'm glad that you have realised your mistake and apologised, and that you know that not all omnivores are alike.
Much in the same way that I do not believe that all vegetarians and vegans are as preachy as some of the ones I have previously spoken to.
Personally, I find the many different vegetarian and vegan viewpoints very interesting on a philosophical level, although I do not always agree with them.
There is a difference between discussing philospohies, and preaching at people or insinuating that they should feel guilty because they don't agree with you, as a couple of people in this thread have done.
What is the point in having a 'discussion' if all you want is a chorus of "yes! me too!" and agreement?
Polite, mature discussion of opposing view points can be very enriching; some you should try it some time.

Once again, I do not believe I was rude to anyone throughout the whole thread and the experience I had. I do not regret making the first post, and I do not understand how it is inappropriate. The title, yes. And we have gone through this before through the posts above and my last post, how I have said that the word
all should have been
most. I feel like I'm constantly repeating this.
You don't need to be a doctor to state that you can be a vegetarian and still have medical issues. Look at the facts. There are other ways of getting protein besides animal products. It seems like you are being the close-minded one here. You seem unwilling to accept that you could be a vegetarian if you
wanted to.
This is a
pro-vegetarian forum and this is the
vegetarian section of the forum. If you are going to be argumentative and against veg*nism, then maybe you should not be on the site at all??
By the way, I'm sure you could share your morals in a much more polite manner then this:

You can be proud, but please do not boast about something like this, when you know all too well that there are many veg*n members of this forum.
