This may be a bit off-topic, but, this is a fantastic book regarding vegetarianism and veganism. It is written by an awakened being.
You may not like it, feel insulted etc. But you should read it.

How much death is there in a bowl of sallad? Rice? Perhaps more than in that slab of meat you might detest.
"I hear a plea in the words of vegetarians, a plea that borders on a prayer. "Let me live without harm to others. Let my life be possible without death." This prayer embodies both a fierce tenderness and a passionate repugnance. The love is for all beings, and the horror is for the sadism humans are inflicting. This prayer pulses in me like another heart."
