The hypocrisy of being a "selective vegetarian"

It wasn't, but good answer none-the-less.
It was directed to the point made about vegetarians who "try" to eat non-animal products, who promote the way of the vegetarian, yet conveniently overlook the products out there that
they themselves use that use animal by-products.
As I said, there is some hypocrisy on both sides of the issue. There are meat eaters who care a great deal that animals are raised in confined quarters and shot full of all sorts of chems and injectibles to ward off diseases and promote growth etc, yet they continue to buy, cook, and wolf down great helpings of meat that came from that industry.
I'm guilty of it myself.
But I love meat. If I see some meat in the store that says it comes from animals that were raised free-range, and it's at least sensibly-priced, I would buy it.
By the way, have you seen some of the quotes from PETA members and officials on that board? I was quite amazed.
