Vegetarians - Characterized by an overwhelming sense of guilt and desire to help others. Their belief that this diet is balanced and healthy is testimony to their lack of honest appraisal of a full set of facts (see also Dean Supporters).
Vegans - Militantly ardent group commonly infiltrated with psychopaths. Insist that such a diet is healthy despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary (see: mirror). Firmly believe that the world would be a better place if everyone did as they did (see also: moveon.org). If you do not ascribe to their way of thinking you are a sadly perverse individual not worthy of their consideration.
Busted.
AAHHH! I'm a Dean supporter.
Quick get me some meat!
I'm a vegetarian. It does have health benefits, but it's not for everyone.
Oh and I don't feel guilty about anything in particular.

You know a lot of people will tell you the Vegan diet is the diet God prescribed for Adam and Eve. Although it is necessary to take a multi-vitamin to get all the required nutrients I wouldn't say being vegan is much worse than a normal diet. Especially when you consider most people need a multi-vitamin no matter their diet to get the recommended amount of all nutrients.
LOL. I see you've met my sister!
Excellent additions.
overwhelming sense of guilt and desire to help others.
I would add: 'Help or control' others.
I'm a vegetarian, well-adjusted and healthy, with no particular guilt issues, (at least none that are not in deep denial, LOL!). It's been wonderful for me healthwise and energy-wise, but I also don't impose it on anyone else or try to convince other people to change their habits. I do share your opinion of vegans, though.
There ARE vegetarian conservatives, strange as that may seem! (There are liberal meat-eaters; notice that I don't tar you meat-eating FReepers with THAT ugly brush!) ;)
