12. You can casually mention it

without making a strong appeal to "why doesn't everyone be like me?"

I'm sure that the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormon missionaries who come to my door are absolutely convinced that if the whole world was like them, it would be a much better place. I respectfully retain my right to disagree with them, and slam, the door goes in their faces.

Bottom line is, we live in a world where multiple belief systems exist, and the sooner religious zealots and vegetarian crusaders get that point, the more harmonious our lives will be with each other.

Again, don't play the victim card if somebody disagrees with you. They have their beliefs about consumption of meat, eggs and milk, and you have yours.

Live with that.
