If the Bird Flu struck the US and Canada, would you consider being a vegetarian?

There are certain health magazines (ie, Prevention) who refer to anyone who eats a majority of vegetables and no red meat as "the new vegetarians".

What annoys me about this sort of thing is that when you have all these people running around calling themselves vegetarians even though they eat animal products like fish and/or chicken or who only refrain from eating red meat, it results in others thinking that vegetarians eat fish/chicken/whatever. Then you'll end up at some dinner where someone says "Oh yeah I ordered chicken for the vegetarians." Bah.
