First...Hmm, this is going to be a long comment. :)<br /><br />Firstly, I agree with you about the attitudes of some vegetarians (and I know there are a lot of them!), who act superior because of their food preferences. It is even more infuriating when they act like non veg food is impure/dirty, hold their noses when someone is eating non veg food near them etc. The absolute height is when people refuse Simplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189016.post-18824623579777848952011-08-14T01:05:39.227+05:302011-08-14T01:05:39.227+05:30I know what yu mean.
