I'm glad SF got the "vegetarians are weird" trolling out of the way, makes it easier for me.

[Insert random rants about eating nothing but grains and veggies]

[Beat dead horse over and over again]

Ok, now that's out of the way, let's answer the OP. It's wrong for them to deny this pair of hippies a podling because they are vegetarians. While I don't believe anyone who isn't a Buddhist, Hindu, or from the Asia Minor area should be a vegetarian, that doesn't mean they are going to be bad parents.

Hell, being a vegetarian is hard work, there is a will power there that is amazing. No meat, no stock, no bacon, no [insert every wonderful food ever made with meat]; not eating those items every day is HARD. If they instilled just an ounce of that willpower and self-discipline into the chubby-faced little parasite, it will turn out to be one amazing kid.

My view of vegetarianism has slacked off from full on hatred to minor annoyance (giving it to a beautiful vegetarian nightly had something to do with that). While I know I will never be a vegetarian or suggest it to anyone else, it's not a bad gig. They (vegetarians in whole) usually are more health conscious, environmental friendly, and less likely to feed the kid junk food till it is to fat to run one lap around the gym.

I know a lot of couples in the world that should never have or raise kids, but being a vegetarian should not be a reason why they shouldn't have one.

Granted, I do feel bad for the kid. Denying the kid bacon? That's just cruel... but not a reason why they shouldn't raise him/her/it.

I don't know what it is about this article, but it just screams "FAKE" to me. Just seems too.... hokey. It's like it was made just to yell and rant about vegetarians' rights and how big government shouldn't put their nose into someone's stomach.

Or it could just be me.
