References, please? I have never heard this.

By the way, most slaughter houses feed grains because they are cheap. Animals in slaughter houses consume much more grain every year than people.

Slaughterhouses are inhumane, I agree. However,not eating meat does not mean you aren't supporting them! You better stop using glue, and wearing most brands of shoes. Oh, and throw away those leather belts, dog toys, collars, and leashes.
I do what I can. In the world we live in, it is near impossible to avoid things made with animal by-products.

So you're saying I am not doing any good by not eating meat? I've spared the lives of animals by not eating meat. I bet I haven't even made a microscopic dent in the entire problem, but it is a huge dent for the animals' lives who have been spared.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it really just makes little sense to me to be a vedgetarian.
And it makes little sense to me for you to critisize a whole group of people who are doing the best they can about something they feel strongly about.
