Well, since we ditched the vegan bit, I'm going to backtrack a little and go for some vegetarian background info instead.

Well, it's kind of as I expected. No meat, fish, or poultry...and apparently, as long as the diet's varied (and possibly souped-up with some extra vitamins), immediate health isn't an issue."Among the many reasons for being a vegetarian are health, ecological, and religious concerns, dislike of meat, compassion for animals, belief in non-violence, and economics." This may be the longest list of potential reasons for turning vegetarian I've seen yet. Which is strange...you'd think the list would be a mile long like people's lists of reasons for other major lifestyle choices.
Either way, there's some good info here as to how vegetarians can maintain health, though I wonder how easy it is in practice without paying some attention to what you're eating. And what happens if you want to be vegetarian but you find you hate the tastes of some of the most nutritious and necessary components of the diet? It's a thought.
