I don't eat meat. For humane reasons, first and foremost.

Cagneydog, I was a bit taken aback by your argument. If one follows your "one single person isn't making any difference" to its logical conclusion, all of us should throw in the towel to many of our passions- 'saving' animals, spaying and nuetering our pets, preaching responsible pet ownership, shoot, even recylcing! I can't remember who on here has that quote, but, it goes something like this, "All it takes for evil to triumph is for one person to turn away".

I don't hit my meat eating family/friends over the head with, "don't eat meat". But, if they ask me, I educate them. I was a meat eater for a long time, after not eating it for a long time. And, for me, personally, not eating meat sits much better with me. I feel 'better' about doing **my** part.
