Beyond Veg
The List offers this excellent and extensive site guaranteed to be
thought-provoking and controversial. Whether the List's gentle members are
vegetarians, know someone who is or are simply curious about this movement
and its various branches, Beyond Veg.com provides an amazing amount of
information.
"When answers are no longer clear-cut, open-mindedness requires the
willingness to question and rethink the issues. And that's the reason for
Beyond Veg--to provide a place staking out territory where those who were
open-minded enough to have embraced vegetarianism in the first place can
also be open- minded enough to explore the problems and limitations that we
may find have surfaced, now that enough time has passed for us to draw on
past history over larger numbers of people . . . When you have put your
heart and soul into following as all-encompassing a lifestyle as
vegetarianism can often be, it is not easy to find that sometimes
information you may have relied on with implicit belief in its authority is
later found to be superseded or contravened by experience or additional
data." - from the website
To some, these may appear to be 'fighting words'.
"The material presented on this site comes from individuals with years of
hard- won experience either practicing alternative diets or observing those
who do . . . A unifying theme, however, is the intent to squarely
acknowledge and discuss the sometimes serious problems that can occur on
alternative diets but often go unreported, and to go beyond the simplistic
dogmas readily available elsewhere--in fact almost everywhere--to 'explain
them away'." - from the website
Peck your way to the site for mountains of material on vegetarianism and
its offshoots.
