It might be normal, but the, "being vegetarian is so weird, I need more MEAT!" just seems _odd_ that people _bring it up_.

It's odd to me because it seems like not eating meat feels like a personal offense to people.

It's not odd to me that people eat meat.

"coagulated soy milk with nasty texture" just sounds like a description of "cheese", but with soy milk instead of animal milk.

And I tend to like a very firm, smoked tofu, because the texture is _way_ better.

But I also tend to prefer cheddar over various soft cheeses, many of which I dislike for both flavor and texture.

It's not the meat eating; it's the being attached to it.

Omnivore means you get choices.

Really? Scare quotes? C'mon, man, chill.

I went to culinary school, and making stuff was oftentimes interesting, and the stuff you could make if you disassembled the meat in a variety of ways was fascinating.

Honestly, it's not all that different to me than figuring out some issue while coding. Just going through some logical steps, checking, testing, go through the steps again until the end product is good...
