Humans lack both the physical characteristics of carnivores and the instinct that drives them to kill animals and devour their raw carcasses. Ask yourself: When you see dead animals on the side of the road, are you tempted to stop for a snack? Does the sight of a dead bird make you salivate? Do you daydream about killing cows with your bare hands and eating them raw? If you answered "no" to all of these questions, congratulations—you're a normal human herbivore—like it or not. Humans were simply not designed to eat meat.
It really gave me another perspective on my thoughts. But most Americans do not spend much time contemplatings most things they do on a daily basis - unless it involves relationships or money.

My friend Angel told me that one cannot eat yeast if they are a true vegetarian as it is an animal. I was always confused by this comment, though I mainly have been vegetarian for health and environmental reasons. But I found an answer today on a vegan website:
Do vegans consume yeast?
from a reader in Spain:
Yes they do. Yeasts belong to the same group of organisms as mushrooms. Here's a dictionary defintion:
fun·gus (fnggs) n., pl. fun·gi (fnj, fngg) or fun·gus·es. Any of numerous eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Fungi, which lack chlorophyll and vascular tissue and range in form from a single cell to a body mass of branched filamentous hyphae that often produce specialized fruiting bodies. The kingdom includes the yeasts, molds, smuts, and mushrooms.
