Reply #116: There are the real vegetarians

[quakerboy]

and there are fad vegetarians. And, at least by my experience, the later outnumber the former.

It is sad. I support those who are vegetarian, but I despise the fad vegetarianism that I see in so many of my general age group. College was an especially rich area for it, I knew one gall who was "vegetarian" and iron deficient as all hell. We would regularly hear her pass out and fall down in her shower, through the wall to the bedroom of our place next door. I don't see a huge difference between fad vegetarianism and any other eating disorder.
