   A good post. The fact of the matter is that the world is moving towards
vegetarian diet. The ones who are moving are the yuppies and the affluent.
Only future can tell how fast this movement is going.

   At every catered dinner I had gone to, I have always ordered special
meals and this is usually a fruit meals because it is very difficult to mess
with it. One time I was on a transatlantic flight and I was the only one who
asked for the fruit meals and they had brought a ton of fruits and I was
asked to help myself all during the 16 hours non stop flight.
