If we're talking about cruelty, pigs get to run for their lives while zucchini can't do ****
Seriously though, I've been entertaining the idea of going vege for a while just for the hell of it... well veges would argue that it's meat-eaters who end up in hell but that's quite beside the point. In the past couple of years, I've come to enjoy a good salad as much as a hearty steak.
Not too long ago I was treated to some fantastic Indian vegetarian food... vegetarian cuisine is actually very popular over there (especially in the north). Spicy desserts and paneer are quite tasty. Not to mention lentils which are extremely healthy. Salivation aside, I still don't know how long I could last without meat. There are definitely enough restaurants around here that offer vege options. Hell, I could stick to a halal diet without too much trouble (speaking of which, a lady serving me at a pizza shop recently asked me whether I wanted the halal option
).
