Well, the responses to my question have been most interesting. There seems
to be many people on this list who have been (or are) vegetarian.

I wonder if this is because the people on this list are very interested in
their health. When vegetarian was supposed to be healthy they adopted that
WOE, but now paleo eating is seen as more healthy, that diet was chosen?

I know this is my background.

Indeed. I think the emotional and attitude changes are more difficult
than the physical adjustments.

There's probably a smaller difference between a vegetarian meal and a
cheeseburger than a vegetarian meal and a paleo meal. The typical
vegetarian meal includes lots of grain and dairy.
