Nono, it's about the enzymes your body uses to digest meat becoming inactive in disuse. Your body becomes unable to digest the products after a lengthy time and in a way "rejects" the meat. This isn't a permanent condition.

VegWeb
That's a pretty cool site.
Some of the recipes save you money yet still delicious just the same.

Why? Do you think I should add shoes and belts to my menu?

I would really have to ask her. She's pretty much a jeans/shorts and t-shirt kind of kid.

Since I'm attempting to become a vegetarian, should I get rid of my leather belt and sandles?

loose - Like most things in life, I'd imagine there are varying degrees of commitment to vegetarianism. Personally, I respect anyone taking even small steps towards what they feel is right.

I never really considered that if you're a vegetarian that you should give up leather and junk... since it's not being consumed. Vegans on the other hand give up everything animal related. But each to their own, I suppose on what classifies as being a vegetarian nowadays...
