Yeah, I don't have problems with vegans/vegetarians either, really. It's just the few individuals who turn it basically into an insane, almost 'religious' crusade. And just as with actual religious nuts (or any extremist, really), my first reaction is to want to, at best, slap them silly.
And yeah, we brought this on by the twin problems of monetary greed and just plain greed. It's going to take a while to reverse the process.
I'm really not comfortable with eating each other, but that's because my own world view and understanding of human nature tells me once we started thinking of each other as 'food', we'll get a whole lot worse and more destructive before we manage to kill ourselves off enough to bring stability back to this place. And the problem with that is, a good portion of the survivors will be the ones who have no problems running over everything, its brother and its dog to get what they want. Which means the whole process will only start all over again.
