my school has a vegetarian club - yippee! I went to the first meeting yesterday, and met vegans - they're so hard to find, but I found multiples! my university is pseudo-ivy league, with kids who have trust funds and drive their parents' BMWs, and is known as a party school (ironically). it's incredible to know that there are other compassionate students there!
on the weekend we're going to a farm sanctuary! I'm so excited about all this, I just had to post...
YAY Laura!
YAY for veg*ns!
That's so cool! I wish I could find some veggie friends!

No kidding! That's so exciting! :D Vegans (even vegetarians!) are, unfortunately, pretty hard to come by... Hang on to those new friends! ;)
awesome! i love when that happens. of course, people tell me they are vegan and once i say "really? me too! that is sooo cool!" they start telling me about how they are only kind of a vegan...
I strongly suspect that I am the only vegan in my suburb, if not the whole Hutt Valley. ::)
The only vegan I know is through family - my cousin's partner - and she lives in Wellington.
Laura, do any of them frequent this board? Perhaps we "know" some of them, too. :D

I don't know - I'll ask and see :) that would be pretty ironic, wouldn't it?
That is so cool.
I rarely meet vegans. I had my first vegan patient (actually she was on my unit and I was charge nurse). The nurse that had her put her diet into the system as "vegetarian, requests soymilk". I went back into the computer and types "Patient is VEGAN, no chicken, fish, cheese, milk or red meat". Interesting that after 16 years of nursing that is the first true vegan patient I've met.
That's great.
