Any vegetarians? Should I become one?

However, this medicine makes it hard not to snack.

Is that what we're calling reefer these days?

@Alex,
Soy is a massively important agricultural commodity. If someone thinks that they are reducing harm to animals (for example) by eating it - it's only because they haven't taken the time to research food production in exhaustive detail - making their line arbitrary and their stance empty in the eyes of someone who has. Would seem to me that someone who has an ethical objection to food production would be eating crickets and cardboard, but no..it's always the soy and the kale. When asked why they eat the soy and the kale instead of the bugs and the processed material, their responses will mirror those of the omnivores they constantly criticize in absolute ignorance/practiced indifference. I'm always open to an objection because it;s an issue close to my heart and it helps me hone my sales pitch - essentially, but I've been disappointed time and time again. I find myself having to argue -basic science- into the discussion with reliably low rates of success. Wide eyed and in defiance of simple facts vegetarians respond to me with "no, surely that can't be true!" -when I explain that there is no free lunch...when it comes to lunch - that nothing, not even livestock, has wrought more destruction and harm to animals than the growing of veggies.....since the moment we started down that road. That we tread it not because it is ideologically pure, but because we simply have no choice. In the parlance of my chosen field - we're obligate parasites, and vegetarianism doesn't ameliorate the harm that we cause simply so that we may continue to exist.
