Trying to balance everything makes my brain hurt. I usually don't. Have you succeeded?
I do enjoy people who enjoy food more than people who don't but that's less correlated with veg*anism around here. Though the people who are just like "Rar! I grill meat!" I am like "...OK!" and don't know what else to say.
I would agree with vegetarianism giving a lot more social room to explain than, say, being queer. No one asks "What made you decide to like girls?" (even and maybe especially not if that would be straight for the you in the question) Of course, if someone asked me that, I have no idea how I would answer it...
Since you bring it up, I'm curious --- what _is_ your explanation?
