In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

My main point is, people who eat meat do so for a myriad of reasons, and discussions of food choices because it is such a volatile topic for some, would be better without the character judgments.

I admit, I took offense when I read "cognitive dissonance" "weak-willed" and "jealous", I know it wasn't personally directed at me but it seemed generally directed at those who eat meat.

I don't think any offense was meant. Character observations are appropriate when trying to discern behavior, I would think.

I don't get offended if someone calls vegetarians "superior" or "pushy" or "militant." I will just point out that some may be, but I am not. This is good for discussion, as we explore all facets. Your individual view is valued as such--individual. Especially here, at this site, where members really care about the implications of what we do.
