Spiny,
When I went to China, I think I became superly meated out. I wondered where was the rice which often came last if at all.
When I asked about the meals it was explained since we were "special guests", we got a lot of meat dishes which are something that cost a lot of money and didn't get much if any rice because rice is cheap. Something that the book "The China Study" also touches in is that throughout history meat has been associated with affluence so the more meat you ate, the richer you were. Obviously, the US went totally meaty in our growth as a nation. We are truly rich compared to many other nations but too bad it is visible on our waist lines and our growing healthcare costs.

I think once you start enjoying non animal products, it is a lot easier to cut animal products out.
You aren't offensive, you are AMAZING! I think everytime someone chooses to incorporate more plant-based foods, they are doing a good thing for us all (planet, animals, self).
