This is all based on the use of the word "nut," of course... someone *can* be a vegetarian without animal rights being their main concern, but if it's *strictly* for health reasons, then it's more likely that they occasionally "indulge" in meat.

All those people should keep their mouths shut because they are taking up air that could be better used for my raunchy jokes.
