I do not know why anyone would shy you away from your lifestyle frown, if you wanted to be a vegitarian then that is your personal choice, people probably look at it as a bad thing,, because there is a minority. Only a handful of people i know are vegitarians it's like 5% of people i know atleast, and this is just the way most of society is sadly...
and to KRAZGRL, I hope you get back on track with everything in your life, back problems are really severe and life altering. I am sadly starting to get some now, and my friend who already had 5 surgeries already 2 of them being really major, lost his g/f of years and his job and life to his back injury :(
