I'm not a vegetarian. I'm just a person who feels really bad for the animals. I'd like to be a vegetarian, but I need to find meals I can enjoy.
If you really feel bad for the animals, here's some food for thought:
Agriculture to produce wheat, rice and pulses requires clear-felling native vegetation. That act alone results in the deaths of thousands of Australian animals and plants per hectare.
There's far more to it than "nobody had to kill a cow for me to have this salad." I'm certainly not going to say that the article is justification for an omnivorous diet (which is what you're evolved for) but it is, as I said earlier, food for thought.
