Passing on what she was told at the health food store is not slander
but gossip. I see no harm in that.  It is not like she was caught with
her pants down willfully twisting facts to make them fit some hidden
anti-vegan agenda. ;-)

No harm in speculating.  I would be very surprised if he got his
degree
from a "legitimate" college - not that I respect "legitimate" degrees
that much anyhow.

"Friendly" yes but not necessarily well-thought out or responsible
which
is what Liza was pointing to. JR never posted much to this list so it
should not take you long to form an opinion of the quality of his
previous
contributions.
