I don't see what problem people have with the word "support". Do
people think it has any negative connotations? If so, why? I see
it as being very positive and descriptive.
> How about 'VEG' for 'vegetarian education group'?
Ick. "VEG" has even worse connotations. Also, I don't think we
are primarily concerned with education, so the name would be
misleading.
> or 'SALAD' for 'Students Against Living Animal Destruction'? ;)
ICK! Not only does it sound ridiculous, but many people here
don't care about the moral aspects of vegetarianism. This sounds
radical and would be very misleading.
