Vegetarian.
The word instantly brings one of
several images to mind. Many people
think of vegetarians as thin, sickly
individuals with pale faces and skin
who do not eat meat. Or they might
think of radical animal rights activists
who dump paint on fur coats, or the
tofu-loving hippies of the '60's, or people
in other countries who refuse to eat
cows.
These thoughts are only partly true.
It is true that vegetarians do not
eat meat, but they are far from being
sickly. Their diets are actually
considered by some to be healthier
than meat-eaters' fare.
True, some animal rights
enthusiasts are militant, but the
majority are peaceful and hard-working
as they find a way to promote their
cause through the proper legal channels.
Not all hippies converted to
vegetarianism. Of those who did try

it, some liked it and stuck with it.
Others hated it and returned to their
old diets.
As for the Hindu population in
India, vegetarianism is a common way
of life in that country since many of
the Hindu sects discourage the killing
and eating of cows, calves, bulls and
oxen. However, the government does
endorse a non-vegetarian diet.
Today it is generally estimated that
there are between 9 million and 12
million vegetarians in the United
States.
So why are so many people choosing
a vegetarian lifestyle instead of the
"normal'' American diet?
The top reasons adults decide to
become vegetarians are for their health,
animal rights, ethics and morals, and
the environment Othqr reasons include
economics, religion, taste and food

Whether you're a full-fledged \
vegetarian or a plain old carnivore ,
who prefers a few meatless meals each ,
week, campus dining can sometimes

them, meat-free options are available ,

baked potatoes to good-old-fashioned i

can eat to fit their lifestyles or search j
out new ways for healthy eating.

Baker Street. Naturally first on
the list, Baker Street is a standard
place to begin whether you are a
vegetarian or just a healthy eater.
Well known for their baked potatos
complete with a variety of toppings,
Baker Street also offers vegetarian
soups and chili. And this year the little
