I still remember the times when smoking was very fashionable. Now, in the
USA, most offices and public places and even rental cars are non-smoking.
Who could have predicted this trend. Let us hope Vegetarianism becomes
fashionable and acceptable and will reduce the killing of animals for food.
It will take time. Even if a large segment turns vegetarian, the results
will save suffering animals.
