As for the 'carrots can hurt too' theory, which I have heard so many times, I can only say that I choose to eat a vegetarian diet without worrying so much about the vegetables life, as you eat meat without worrying about the animals life. No one is any better than anyone else when it comes to food... we all need it to live.

Yeah...seriously...carrots don't have central nervous systems...they could not feel anything!
Anyway, I think the "vegetarians are ignorant" statements, while imho quite off the mark, wer more aimed at the very vocal and condescending vegetarians, who consider themselves on a higher moral plain than us omnivores.
Animals kill other animals for meat. Its a fact of life. Human's are animals, so we eat to live. Nothing wrong with eating meat...nothing wrong with eating veg either (I do both!)
Again, Fast Food nation had nothing to do with vegetarianism, and is certainly not going to stop me eating meat.
