(Wireless Flash) -- A Norfolk, Virginia, woman has taken her love of vegetarianism to the extreme by changing her name to GoVeg.com The-vegan-formerly-known-as Karin Robertson changed her name to the same as that of a vegetarian information website to encourage meat-eaters to become vegetarians. 23-year-old GoVeg.com, a Youth Project Specialist for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, says her new name is a great conversation starter. But life isn't all a bed of lettuce. Since she changed her name, she's had some trouble at airports, but she says security guard believe her when she shows them her drivers license. GoVeg.com says her mother worried at first what she would do if she got married, but GoVeg.com says her parents know how much animal rights activism means to her. Now, GoVeg.com says she couldn't imagine changing her name back saying, " To be named after the number one website for vegetarian information -- what could be better? " _______________ Tired of spam?
