I have a question.
May. 29th, 2004 01:56 amI know where vegetarian comes from. And I know where vegan comes from. What I don't know is who decided "etari" means "and non-dead animal products".
Strangely, this thought was prompted by my burger. My food is psychotic. Or maybe just psychic.

The general use of the word appears to have been largely due to the formation of the Vegetarian Society at Ramsgate in 1847.]
that doesn't explain that much though
