We do welcome low-carbing vegetarians, and respect their choices, whatever their reasons.

However, if someone is really "grossed out" by the mere mention, or image of meat, I doubt they'll ever feel comfortable on our forum, and they're most likely to be grossed out by the many of the posts, and the posters in this forum.

Those icons (which we've had for a few of years) are meant as a symbolic form of progression in the hunter-gatherer scale, which will eventually conclude by the image of a caveman or a cavewoman. It's symbolic, and not meant to be taken too seriously, or to be measured for political correctness. In addition, an image of a vegetable just won't fit this pattern

Wa'il
