An appropriate response to nearly everything PETA does ...
With respect to the veg/vegan issue: (pirate away. that's how some of the more interesting discussions get going here)
I'm not one myself (take a look at your teeth. they were not designed to exclusively eat leafy green things.) but I do know several, including a full-bore vegan. It takes her extra long in the supermarket because she has to read every damn label (including on personal care products) to make sure there's not a speck of animal product or protein in there ... other than that, she's pretty nice.
One of my coworkers is a vegetarian, but he partakes of the cheese and eggs ... one fun thing about him is that no one expects him to be a veg (put him in a bear-fur vest and you'd think he was a viking berzerker). Anyway ... in addition to whatever he's eating he takes a goodly bit of vitamins. Like anything else, you have to watch what you're eating and make sure you're not missing out on anything nutrition-wise. Also, his girlfriend is what he calls a "partaker of the flesh" ... they've been together for seven years now, so it's not a point of contention in their relationship.
