With all due respect, and I am NOT talking about you, I think many people react that way because SOME vegetarians are every bit as zealous about that lifestyle as the most fundamentalist Christian is about his/her beliefs, and like those fundamentalist Christians, the zealous vegetarians say that anyone who does not believe and behave as they do is evil. Thus, as some here have pointed out that there are some Christians who display intolerance for others' beliefs and practices that as far as those list members are concerned all who label themselves Christian must accept the blame for that attitude and expect others to consider them guilty of that attitude, many who have had previous encounters with zealous vegetarians worry that all who identify themselves as vegetarians are similarly intolerant of anyone who is not a vegetarian.
