And it's a diet that requires a lot of thought and planning. I also don't like the association of vegetarianism with weight loss and diets and skinniness. You can lose weight while eating meat. It's crap like this "skinny bitch" book that make people tell me things like "why are you a vegetarian? You don't need to lose weight"..."you don't eat meat? are you anorexic?"

Boo to the scare tactics to the masses!!!!!
