With you so far. I understood army1987 to be going further, and suggesting not only that the vegetarians they’ve met display vegetarianism without a moral subtext, but also that they are representative of vegetarians in their culture more generally… that is, they aren’t some kind of aberrant statistical fluke. I summarized this as the claim that “there isn’t a moral subtext to vegeterianism in [army1987′s] culture,” which is what you took exception to. This doesn’t seem like a controversial next step to me.
