You're correct, of course, but not all vegetarians are Ellsworth Toohey - 
inspired second-handers out to stifle individualist chefs.

"All native peoples were vegetarian, Peter. They were closer to the Earth 
Mother."

"I dunno, Ellsworth. Does that mean I can't have a beer?"

"Of course you can, Peter. And here, have some cilantro, balsamic vinegar, 
goat cheese, and blue corn meal with it."

"Mmpf, munch, chew... Gee, I feel more enlightened already. Thanks, 
Ellsworth."

"What are friends for, Peter?"
