I think being a vegetarian is a tiny bit different

Why? Eating something (meat) that her body has been genetically predisposed to ingest over a million of years of evolution and something literally billions of other people do several times a day is hardly amazing, despite the fact that she decided on her own not to eat it in the past.

Many vegetarians do not eat meat for philosophical reasons. They simply believe that eating meat is wrong. It goes against their personal beliefs.

There isn't anyone who doesn't eat beets because of that.

You can't see a difference there?

So we should celebrate that her personal beliefs are for sale? "Eating meat is wrong. I could never--- How much? Slice me off some of that face there."

Don't be so quick to assume. And I'm not sure I would eat them for a small chance at half a million dollars either. But if I did, I would find it very strange for people to applaud my "bravery."

I hate beets too and I would never eat them.

However, if I had a chance to win a million dollars, then I'd say "Pass the beets!"

I have been vegetarian for 18 years and I certainly would not eat meat for a chance at a million dollars.

I am not into this season either. I don't even know any of these contestants' names.

I thought it was seriously lame how Kevin and Gary had to signal the boats after the rappel, wait for a while and then the boat just stayed there to allow every other team to gain on them.
