Re:Vegetarian Times survey needed again

[Guest guest]

Good point, simple survey, you either are a veghead or not. There's

a category for everything, ovo, lacto, pesca and the names go on and

on. I hope they have a survery soon, I think there are more

vegetarians now than ever before.

unless they eat out or they suck Altoid breath mints or candy with

gelatin, there are several I know who follow a vegetarian diet for

months and yet go off the wagon a few times a year and have never

heard the word flexitarian and is that really an accurate word for

them. I eat 99% vegan but I won't call myself vegan, if I eat bread

and an egg is in the mix or I feel like a teaspoon of parmesan on top

of my spaghetti or a pat or butter on my toast then I have it so I

wouldn't be telling the truth if I called myself vegan yet my diet

leans more towards vegan than vegetarian.

Maybe we should write and ask them to start a survey.
