Romans 14:2
"One person believes that he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables."

Paul is not saying this person is "weak" if he is a vegetarian for dietary reasons. The emphasis in Romans 14 is on those decisions & choices that are being made for religious purposes. So if one is eats vegetables only thinking that this will make them more holy, this would be an example of one who is weak. Alternatively, the weak one may chose not to eat meat, out of fear that it may have been sacrificed to an idol, and is therefore spiritually polluted, not recognizing his freedom in Christ. In Paul’s mind, the weaker brother is actually the more strict one but undoubtedly they would not see themselves as weaker, but stronger because of their keeping of all the "right" rules.

I still say anyone who doesnt eat meat is either a pussy or eats a different type of meat. |

Have a lot of friends who are vegetarians, but I could never do it. My diet is pretty meat-free but every once in a while I have to take a break from the my pesto diet.
