Tollund Man/Talk

I'm not sure if I'm disagreeing with the author of this article or the people who conducted the autopsy and discovered no meat in his stomach, but I don't agree that the man was a vegetarian simply because he had not eaten meat for his last, or even his last several, meals. He may have not had meat for reasons completely unrelated to choice: he may have been imprisoned and eaten only what his captors chose not to eat themselves, or there may not have been any meat available that he wished to eat near the end of his life. And yes, I am a vegetarian so no, I'm not just being contentious for political reasons, though I am being contentious. ;-) --KQ

No, you're right, I clearly stepped over the mark. Will edit. --drj
