[net.news.group] Vegetarian group

jgb@linus.UUCP (Jonathan G. Bressel) (12/22/83)

I propose a news group for vegetarians.  Is there any interest out there?

I like the idea of discussing vegetarian issues and exchanging recipes
but I feel that this would fit nicely into net.cooks which already
exists.  The volume of traffic in net.cooks is relatively low so that
the additional news items wouldn't really be a problem.

But vegetarianism doesn't fit as a subgroup of net.cooks.
There are vegetarians such as myself who believe that killing animals is wrong
(and for whom vegetarian is an accurate, but overly restrictive name).
We are not interested in merely discussing carrot recipies,
but other issues such as philosophy and non-leather goods, etc.

Putting this as a subgroup of net.cooks would be as bad as creating
net.cooks.judaism, just because some Jews are interested in a kosher diet.
