Slate.com has a very good article on vegetarianism.
I've been a vegetarian now for longer than I ate meat (21 years and counting).
The author of the article is a vegetarian and makes many of the same points I find myself making when questioned ad nausea about WHY I'm a vegetarian.
Most carnivores think I'm some screwy religious nut (I'm not) or that I am a raging liberal (I'm not that either).
I especially agree with the author's take on restaurants. Most restaurants think that having a pasta dish suffices to allow them to claim a vegetarian dish. News flash! No, it doesn't.
A real chef, and I mean this in the most insulting way possible, has the breadth and ability to satisfy ALL palates appropriately.
I love food, but have difficulty getting good food in restaurants. Even vegetarian restaurants suck.
