I totally agree with not eating meat for "moral" or "health" issue, but the idea that somehow the world is going to change because a handfull of kids arent eating meat is asinine.
What is with this wannabe anti-sensationalist "good luck trying to change the world" jive I get from non-vegans so often (not necessarily here)? These ppl try to paint the simple, human behaviour of operating under one's own ethics to be some kind of fascist statement of the ultimate and necessary good. And if doing what one thinks is right doesn't have its own end, seperate from any precipitating effects, then yea, there probably isn't a point to using a system of ethics at all, save for belief in biblical redemption and the afterlife.
