I am not a vegan, or a vegetarian. I love a good steak, prime rib, pepperoni pizza, Italian beef, etc. But I have a good friend who is a vegetarian, and when we go out we eat it is at vegetarian restaurants in Chicago. I have eaten some delicious meals at these restaurants. I have contemplated going one or two days per week as a vegetarian -- kind of like doing the no meat on Friday's during Lent but year around -- like in the old days that my parents would talk about.
There is an interesting article on AARP.org's web site about President Clinton's vegan diet along with some very good sounding vegan recipes.
