What does being vegetarian have to do with telling other people what they should or shouldn't eat?

I think the comment is built from the assumption that vegetarian push their ideas on others around them - like zealots

The old joke: "How can you tell if someone is a Vegetarian? They'll tell you."

How can you tell if someone is a meat eater?

They'll complain that you're a vegitarian.

Hm. Its pretty different. I don't come to a table and say "Hey! I'm a meat eater! Better supply me with meat in this meal, or I'm going to walk away!"

Clearly, on one side, we have omnivores. On the other, extra rules about food type and preparation. Its almost always more complicated to feed one, than the other.
