this sums up how some of us thing:

 

As Americans become increasingly aware of the direct link between diet and

disease, I believe that in a decade or two, the majority will become either

mainly or entirely vegetarian. We vegetarians are a small percentage of the

total population now, but the public health and environmental costs are just too

high to sustain our current meat-centric national diet.

 

Fuel costs and their effect on food prices will likely be another important

driver to convert the mainstream into sourcing local produce and/or growing

their own. I'm convinced that in a few years vegetarianism will be as mainstream

as running/cardio exercise is today.

I liked this article and found it helpful. I'm not a vegetarian and I don't

think I'll ever become one 100%, but I have been focusing lately on gradually

increasing the amount of heart-healthy, non-meat meals I eat each week.

 

I think a lot of non-vegetarians like me have the perception (probably

erroneous) that it's a tough road to go. And any tips about what products and

foods taste good (and how to best use them) are really helpful. Our family is on

a tight budget, and although I am the only one eating stuff like tofu, I hate to

waste money and food by making a bad choice.

 

I do agree with the commenters about the wonderful vegetarian foods you can find

at Asian and Indian restaurants. I wish more of the experienced vegetarians

commenters would help educate those of us non-vegetarian readers with more

specific information about the foods you enjoy, resources for good recipes, and

the like. (I think most of us Bay Area folk are already pretty aware of the

reasons why those who choose the vegetarian lifestyle do so.)

My thoughts are that downwards things like eating meat will always be

part of life. Being veg will never be a majority, but I for one have

no choice. I have to be vegetarian.
