Vegetarians in Paradise

Vegetarians in Paradise (http://www.vegparadise.com/), a vegetarian Los Angeles Internet magazine. Lots of interesting topics, and though they call themselves vegetarians in Paradise, most of the stuff I looked at is vegan. They have a nice list of alternatives to all kinds of "meats", and dairy and egg substitutes that are vegan. :thumbsup:

This could be because, certainly in the UK we are given the impression that most vegan Americans refer to their diet as vegetarian.:rubchin:

When I was a vegetarian I never used leather, or ate anything with gelatin, or any cheese with rennet, which is different from vegetarians today, it seems. It took me a long time to think of myself as vegan though, after I gave up the last few animal "products", as vegans did appear extreme to me, and I feared I would never be accepted as a vegan because I lived with animals.
To this day, if someone asks me if I am vegetarian, I just say yes, rather than go into a big explanation, as my fuse is much shorter than it used to be, and I am much more likely to come out swinging if I get in a fight with someone.
