Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 HI Shiva I probably didn't answer your email properly. I knew you weren't accusing me of being racist :-) I felt a little under pressure from one of Fraggle's answers, and welcomed the opportunity to point out that I am not a racist. I have an Indian friend at work who is veggie, and another Hare Krishna friend who is veggie. It would be good if there were more veggies and vegans. It seems that more programmes on the telly are talking about meat now though, which is a shame. BBJo - Shiva K Tuesday, July 11, 2006 5:01 PM Re: Fw: Perception or truth? Hi Jo,I didn't mean to tell that u r racis or tag you as one. Just wanted to let you know that there are quite a few people from other parts of the world too.I wud be happy to see more and more people becoming vegans or atleast veggie's ...

I know of some at work and a few who claim to be veggie but eat fish!! I used to know some vegans when we were in the local hunt sab group. Now the only vegans I know are Peter and some of his friends. Jo - Shiva K Tuesday, July 11, 2006 1:17 PM Re: Fw: Perception or truth? Well, I am an Indian(though am anti-patriotic) ... I am a vegan .. . I know one or two vegans from India .. but then, I know a lot of Vegetarians .. there is a sect in India called as Brahmins and they are supposed to be vegetarians, its their culture .. .. I dont think it is in anyway Racist ..

HI Fraggle I gather where you live is a very alternative place, with lots of different ethnicities. Therefore it is likely that you do have a choice of lots of different places to eat. Peter (Valley Vegan) lives in Wales where he is lucky to have one vegetarian restaurant within a hundred miles.
