Oh no, definitely do not think that we are decrying all who practice 
a vegetarian diet. While I don't agree with, or necessarily 
understand, their dietary choices, I do respect them and all I ask is 
the same respect in return for mine and an understanding that while 
we try to accommodate them, they are in the minority and we cannot 
and will not go to extremes for them. It is simply the difficult 
ones, the militant, preachy, narrow-minded ones that have a sense of 
entitlement and 
know-they-are-right-by-god-and-everyone-else-needs-to-be-just-like-me 
types that cause the problems.
