Although I've been a veggie for 14 years I've never been happy with the term "vegetarian" as we do eat a lot more than vegetables. My daughter, a biologist, prefers herbivore but that's not populist enough for me. Can you catters come up with a better word? I'll start off with ENDA (eats no dead animals) (plus, Enda was an Irish saint!!!!! )

Jezebel: you doctor gave you bad advice, a lot of doctors are just as ignorant and just as biased as anyone else. A veggie diet is perfectly healthy for all.
