Wanna-be vegan asks about protein sources other than soy Why can't we all just stop worrying about protein?
This debate starts off discussing "vegetarians" who eat fish and chicken, and descends into a discussion about cheese.

Corn on the cob is the perfect simple side item for vegetarians and vegans on barbecue days. Everyone always loves fresh sweet summer corn. Just be sure to use a
vegan margarine, then dress up your corn on the cob with your favorite spices. If you're using a fresh organic and local variety, however, it might be best to just grill it up and enjoy it naked. The corn that is, not you. Here are a few easy ways to glam up a simple corn on the cob:
