I'm sorry but I think you sound a bit hypocritical here. If you feel like you won't make a difference by not eating meat, I wonder why you bought a hybrid. You must not have thought that would make a difference either. After all,

I've been a vegetarian for little more than a month, and I think it is exactly like driving a hybrid. It just make sense to me. Just like most hybrid drivers will never go back to driving a regular car, I now think eating meat is completely bizarre. I think most people are afraid to really think about it, because then they might have to change.
