Snappy the Clam

From the comments on BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Some sausages are more equal than others:

Vegetarianism isn't trendy like it used to be in the 80s and early 90s. Most of the people I knew who went veggie probably did it to be cool, and now most of them are back eating meat, because that's fashionable now.

I can't count the number of "ethical meat" stories that tout the ex-vegetarian nature of the blogger and friends (despite pretty shaky definitions of "vegetarian" in some cases) as some sort of justification for the decision to eat meat again. I think the comment above explains it far better than all the other rationalizations currently in use. Now you can get all that coolness that the organic crowd used to get, but you can still eat bacon toffee! You can even still work the foodie angle and recommend wines that go with it! Genius!
