Genuine story and accompanying comment...
Some of you know my stance and that I don't preach, but you carnivores will like this...
A friend of my wife's in the early 90's named Claire was editor of Fitness magazine over here; she was, like us, a veggie... she also dabbled in writing books... one of them was on the Paras... she was on a flight with them to somewhere in South America and a Sergeant was passing round Spam sandwiches... she commented to the Sergeant, "I'm a vegetarian, what happens to vegetarians in the Army?"
"They die, Ma'am..."
As a curious aside, she caved, and eventually married a Captain... we last saw her at her wedding reception... no idea what she does now...
There was a big billboard on a major road on the way into London around the same tim that showed a big pan of frying "Danish Bacon" - on the poster was a large LED counter with numbers counting downwards...
The logo stated, "THE NUMBER OF VEGETARIANS IN BRITAIN"
