vegatarian vs vegan

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself to those of you new

to the list. My name is Davida and I am the Consumer Research Manager

for VRG. That vague title encompases managing the website, editing

some books, answering email inquiries, writing articles, design work,

and more. I am excited to see this list really getting started.

 

I had one thing I wanted to address. I will be moderating this list.

I've watched several other great lists self-destruct due to flaming

and in-fighting. I want this list to help connect like-minded folks

and provide support and resources. There shouldn't be a fissure

between defining ourselves as vegetarian or vegan, as if we are

really THAT different. We are all vegetarians, and thus have far more

in common with one another than most of the rest of society. Both

vegetarians and vegans should keep that in mind and not fault the

other for not seeing the world as they themselves do. The more we

separate between ourselves, the harder it becomes to make the changes

we want.

 

Thanks for being a part of the list!

Davida
