For Some Reason

I came across this site about vegetarianism and found it interesting.

My belief is people can do whatever they want, but vegetarianism at bottom is a cult not unlike Scientology and the like. I believe it's another form of diet quackery, and many people fall prey to the many bogus claims on its behalf.

Not to mention there is no evidence at all it improves one's health (especially when it isn't natural anyway) by preventing disease or extends the lifespan, improves the environment, makes one more moral because of alleged concern for animals, and all of that other nonsense.

If vegetarians were honest, they would admit they are in the throes of a cult.

I have a nephew who has practiced more or less a vegetarian diet for over a decade. He has his wife doing it as well, but neither of them is a strict vegetarian. His brother has sworn off meat for some reason, and HIS wife is struggling to try and eat like he does. It won't work, of course, because restricting one's diet in this manner makes one crave the "forbidden" all the more.

Finally, the self-righteous tone of many vegetarians, especially of the PETA stripe, is no different than the religious fundies.

If there is anything worse than religious fascists, it's food fascists.
