How should Buddhist vegetarians relate to meat-eaters?

This is a response to a question raised by Dharmasuri of Nagaloka Buddhist Center in Portland, Maine, in response to the concerns of one of her sangha members.

This post is connected with the launch of my book, Vegetarianism: A Buddhist View.

   I am not a vegetarian (not Buddhist for that matter) but I like your approach to how to address people that are, as I do have an interest in it just haven’t made the beginning steps and encouragement goes a long way over demanding.
