Hey everyone,
I am sorry I forgot to post the information about other vegetarian mailing lists
after the last dinner. I really thought I had done it. Anyway, here's the list
sent out by VEGLIFE:
--------
OTHER LISTS RELATED TO VEGETARIANISM
AR-News and AR-Talk (Animal Rights Discussion and News Lists) In the
Internet community there is a collection of unmoderated electronic
mailing lists for the discussion of the relationships between human
and non-human animals. These lists are administered via the Animal
Rights Electronic Network (AREN), an organization dedicated to
providing mechanisms for the exchange of ideas and information
pertaining to the issues of animal rights/welfare. Currently, the
collection consists of two lists: AR-Talk and AR-News. AR-Talk is an
open discussion forum while AR-News is a public news wire
To subscribe to AR-News, send e-mail requesting to be added to:

FatFree (McDougall/Ornish mailing list) is for discussion about
extremely lowfat vegetarianism. For this list, very lowfat indicates
diets with less than 15% of calories as fat. Vegetarian includes
milk, eggs, and honey, but excludes all meat, fish, and poultry. Two
main proponents of this style of diet are John McDougall and Dean
Ornish. Members are encouraged to contribute recipes, food news,
testimonials, requests, tips on dealing with family and friends,
anecdotes, jokes, and questions of any sort at least mildly related
to lowfat vegetarianism and living a healthy lifestyle.

a broad range of topics related to ethical veganism. For those of you
who may not be familiar with the term, VEGANISM can be defined as a way
of living which seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practical, all
forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or
any other purpose.

VEGLIFE is a fairly active list and is available in digest form. It has over 700
people on it from around the world. Fortunately, it is available in digest form,
which saves all the messages for the day and sends them to you in one chunk at about
11PM. There are anywhere from 1 to 20-odd messages in a given day. Here's how to
order:
send to:
LISTSERV@VTVM1.BITNET or LISTSERV@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU
Your e-mail body should say:
(To subscribe) sub veglife firstname lastname
(To start the digest format) set veglife digest
Note that you should send two separate messages if you want the digest option; one
to subscribe and one to set you on digest (seems an appropriate format for a food
list, huh?).
There is one other list not mentioned by VEGLIFE for some reason. It is called
VEGGIE and has pretty light traffic and does not have a digest that I know of. I
think it has around 250 subscribers, also around the world. To get on it, send
a message to: veggie-REQUEST@maths.bath.ac.uk. The message can be in regular
English because a human, not a machine, will be processing your request (strange
but true).
Enjoy,
<<ESP>>
P.S. We had a great, though small, dinner last night. Thanks to all who participated
and a 'you missed out' to those who didn't. We'll have to *try* and pull one
or more of these off during the term, though, realistically, it is unlikely
to happen. We'll see...
