[Buddha-l] on eating meat

[Michael Paris]

Whilst mall-walking today, I noted another fast-food establishment
(Cajun something-or-other) that now has vegetarian offerings. 

Apparently there's a growing demand. I'm pleased, and surprised.

Oddly, after I started practicing meditation (finally got a Vipassana
teacher - hard to find around here), I lost my taste for red meat. I
used to love a lean, juicy sirloin. Not anymore. 

Chicken and fish, on occasion, are palatable, but my wife fixes soy and
tofu dishes that are just delightful. (She has cholesterol problems, so
the diet change is good for both of us.)

I was deeply impressed the other day when I heard on the BBC radio that
the number of vegetarians in this country (Great Britain) is growing.
This is good news."
