just now saw this thread....oops about my meat thread in chit chat.....
a girl i went to college with was a vegan.....she dropped, like, 25 lbs just over the summer b/c of it. all the lil fad-diet girls wanted to know how she did it, and she had to make it more than abundantly clear it was a lifestyle, NOT a diet.
i respect ppl who are vegans and who would save dogs over a baby (

) as long as they respect that i would save a baby over a dog....but i would try my darndest to save both.
