Of course, I have no statistics to back that up, so maybe there are a lot of non-preachy vegetarians out there that I don't know about.

Well there are vegetarians who made the choice because of health reasons. They wouldn't preach. I have been a vegan for 15 years. When I was younger I was very preachy as I felt I was trying to save lives and while I still believe meat is murder, now I believe there is a time and place for such discussion. On this board I generally try to clear up some misnomers and myths about Veganism and don't try to argue that everyone shouldn't eat meat as I don't think it would progress the cause any.
