To those that don't want to become 100% vegetarians, even though we all know it's better for everyone including the animal that'slaughtered;

How about just using meat in small quantities, and for seasoning?

A little bit of beef/chicken goes a long way. Most Americans do not need more protein.

I have gotten by with a few pounds (less than 5 lbs) of meat a year.

If a cash strapped, loser, like myself can do it, anyone can.

I honestly believe that the best strategy to take at the moment is to teach people recepies for good and tasty vegetarian food.

I am not vegetarian but my absolutely favourite dish is Blueberry dumplings with sour cream.

I don't care if its vegetarian or not its simply good food.

Its much easier for people to make the 'ethical' choices when they are given good alternatives.

The whole thing with meat eaters are evil killers is counter productive signal virtue pandering to your own tribe.

Instead of picketing and protesting infront McD, create vegetarian cooking classes.

This is a good point about finding good recipes that use less animal products.

It seems like there's a lot of focus on replacing meat with something else pretending to be meat but I don't know that you're going to bring many people around that way. Vegetarian food needs to be good in it's own right, and it absolutely can be, but that generally means going beyond your grandma's copy of "Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook".
