I found it rather funny when someone asked what I was doing one weekend and I mentioned going out for ribs. . . the shocked looks and finally the tentative question about why I had stopped being vegetarian.

I have to wonder why someone would make those assumptions (though I do find it amusing). I certainly wasnt offended, but I am curious. ;-)

Gosh, me too. I don't know if it's my politics, my looks, or what, but people always assume I'm a vegetarian. My real philosophy is that we shouldn't eat a dominating amount of meat - it's bad for the environment and not as healthy for us as a more balanced diet. So I often can be seen eating a vegetarian entree for lunch, but not everyone who eats tofu is a vegetarian!
I'm pretty pro-vegetarian though and I've considered becoming a vegetarian several times (always comes back to the fact, I love sushi.)
