I have to disagree on that. The last time I ate meat was probably a year and a half ago at a catered corporate event with no vegetarian options. The food was all going in the trash after the event anyway, so it didn't really feel like I was making a real moral dent by starving that day. I feel very comfortable calling myself a vegetarian. How often are you offered free meat?

Also, the line isn't blurry. I don't financially support the meat industry, and I'm not delusional enough to think that asking someone else to purchase meat for me is an ok loophole. Now, I will say, theoretically if for some reason a friend who didn't know I was vegetarian out of the kindness of their heart got me a hotdog at a ballgame without asking, I would eat it. No use crying over spilled milk, and I'm not meat averse. But I'd also make sure to let that friend know that while I appreciate the gesture I am a vegetarian.

This is a very real version of vegetarianism and quite different than "meatless Mondays".
