You're on a roll today.

Hey wait, can veggie-people eat bread? Aren't grains alive at some point?

All food was alive at some point it just depends on what value you give that life

Nice one!
I remember hearing Gary Snyder read some of his poems in the late 70s and he told a story about living with the Inuit, one of the said something like "You white people are lucky, you can eat whatever you want." Snyder asked him what he meant by that and he explained, "Our food has a soul and we have to consider the quality of that soul before we eat it."

But killing is killing, whether it is a carrot or a pig. When you feel like eating, something has to give up its life to feed you. Our ideas about the hierarchy of life allow us to take certain lives for granted. There is some comfort in this P.O.V. It absolves us of some responsibility and it gives us a nice moral high ground to survey everyone who thinks differently than we do. No matter how you look at it, if you want to live, something else has to die.

South India. 30-40% of the population is strictly vegetarian; the rest is 'mostly-vegetarian'.

How can you be "mostly vegetarian"? Isn't that like being mostly virgin?

According to south Indians (like my grandmother) if you've ever tasted meat, you're no longer a vegetarian, even if you haven't eaten any in decades.

So yes, it's like virginity.

Does it count if you only put the meat in your mouth?

I think it counts if the meat was unwilling. Or didn't pay well.

I heard a similar joke about some cocksucker that built a hundred bridges just a few days ago.
