My cholesterol level is low, my overall health is excellent and I haven't had a cold in 15 years (although nearly everyone else in my family catches at least one every year). Who's to say who will live longer. I could die in a car wreck next week but for my current days I am benefitting tremendously from my diet. As far as being nazi about it, you can eat pork fat sauteed in lard every day and it's no skin off my nose

I call people like you passive vegetarians. As in, non-militant, non-judgemental. That is, if you're being 100% honest about this.
Many (not most) vegetarians and vegans ARE militant though. They lack the ability to just shut up and eat their rabbit food and be happy. They can't be satisfied with their own choice only, no. They feel the irresistable urge to crinkle their noses up whenever meat is served to others around them.
Bring out a turkey for the family at thanksgiving and the vegan is the one looking disgusted.
Out on a date with a vegetarian, order a steak and she get's all "Are you really going to eat that?" on you, upper lip all curled up in a sneer. Out come the comments like "You know that's dead animal flesh don't you?"... "that animal you're eating was murdered" etc..... that kind of shit.
Judgemental vegetarians like that need to be smacked upside the skull repeatedly.
