| About: | What's it like to be a vegetarian or vegan in the 'Ham? Are you surrounded by fellow herbivores or do you cohabit/socialize/dine out with meat eaters as well? What local restaurants serve the best vegetarian/vegan options besides Casa? Is the Swan Cafe really the best veg restaurant in town, or is it simply the closest thing we've got? Do you still feel the temptations of the flesh-eating world? Do you succomb? How do you deal? Join this community and share your answers to these and any other veg/bham questions that come to mind. Please, no flaming, no rudeness, and no diatribes. WHO IS WELCOME: You need not be a vegetarian to join! This community exits for vegetarians to connect and support each other. But all who are interested or working toward vegetarianism are welcome! Perhaps being part of an encouraging group of people will help some make the change.
