Nice gesture, Jean-Louis!  The discussions on animal foods sometimes
can get a little too graphic for even myself who is experimenting with
these foods, so I can certainly relate to how somebody who is avoiding
them completely might feel. I take this opportunity to encourage our
vegan and vegetarian subscribers to jump in and let their presence
be felt some more.
