For many vegetarians, there is a great deal more to vegetarianism than sharing recipes. Love and respect for animal life, nutritional purity, religious convictions and lower-cost self-sufficiency (or just lower-cost grocery bills) are just a few of the more common reasons that one may choose vegetarianism. A poll of vegetarians would probably reveal that there is quite an assortment of motives. I beleive that this would become evident in a group such as net.vegetarian. The same poll of vegetarians would probably reveal that the vegetarian diet, in many cases, is only a partial manifestation of an entire attitude and way of life that is in effect far beyond the kitchen or dinner table. I think this news group would be a great forum for great and complex subject. Let's go!!!
