The problem with converting vegetarians to bacon-eaters is then there is one more person trying to eat my bacon.  So, morally I approve of helping vegetarians find Jesus (bacon), but on the other hand it ultimately means less bacon for me which goes against one of the basic animal instincts of trying to defend against predators to insure that you and your family have enough food to survive.  It's all a very circular dilema that has vexed man from the early cave-dweller days.
