My children are vegetarians and have several vegan friends, and if you
think vegans  a strange lot, wait til you meet one of the folk who will
not eat anything unless it give it self willingly from the earth. ie:
drops from a tree, must not be plucked; cannot be dug like potatoes, but
like onions must push up and let go. However they are not likely to be
around long!
