Einstein was not a vegetarian for very long, but the man's knowledge on the topic would have been, erm, relative.

The only reason I put him there is because it kicks ass to quote Einstein. I intented this diary as a means of getting some people to start thinking about how much meat they really need to eat, so I think a quote by Pee-Wee Herman's Cowntess Cow would have had a much cheaper effect to that end.
