* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While the episode sympathizes with Lisa's perspective and shows why she can't eat meat in good conscience, it's not so much about vegetarianism as it is about the importance of respecting the beliefs of others. While society pressures Lisa to eat meat, Lisa herself pressures her family to go vegetarian, even ruining Homer's barbecue. Ultimately the happy ending is achieved by Lisa and Homer's decision to [[AgreeToDisagree respect each other's choices]].

She becomes a vegetarian out of a genuine desire not to hurt adorable animals. However, her good intentions don't justify her extreme behavior, and she is called out by other vegetarians for trying to force her beliefs onto others.
