When discussing the merits of vegetarianism, one point seems to be overlooked: being a vegetarian is not easy. I, like most vegetarians, at one time enjoyed eating meat, and it was very difficult to give it up. But I did, because I am concerned about the suffering of animals, and do not want to contribute to it.

On the other hand, a meat eater gives up nothing: he likes meat, and keeps eating it.

For example, it's not easy being a suicide bomber...

One other thing: all other things being equal, I am going to assume that da Vinci got it right and Ted Nugent got it wrong.

All things are not equal as biology seems to be on Nugent's side.
