As I am partially of Irish descent I'd quite like to hear about this
discussion.  I wouldn't worry much about there being a flame war about
vegetarianism here; the group charter clearly states that it's not possible
to be a vegetarian on this list as the natural human diet has always
included meat.  So I'd really like to hear more about this.
