I shop at "foodie Land" AKA Jungle Jim's International Market. It happens to be the closest grocery store to my home. I consider myself a bit of a foodie, especially in comparison with the rest of my siblings, I tend to go for new outlandish dishes and enjoy cooking wacky things. I relate to the foodie movement and haven't felt ostracized or otherwise hassled for being vegetarian. On the contrary, when someone learns that I don't eat meat, I find it's an excellent opportunity to discuss the exciting meals that I eat, opening their eyes to the fact that it is not a limiting lifestyle choice. Foodie friends often get excited about finding new ways to adapt their old recipes into being more veggie-friendly.

I relate to the foodie movement. There are many breeds of foodies, and your short list of controversial authors is hardly enough to be a fair representation.
