[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	(The titled quote is from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in case someone didnt get the reference :P ) http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/couple-denied-adoption-because-theyre-vegetarian.html Couple Denied Adoption Because They're Vegetarian Adopting a child that's in need of a home is one of the most selfless and loving decisions a person can make -- but in Greece, having a big heart means nothing if you don't eat meat. A vegetarian couple from the island of Crete recently had their adoption application rejected on the grounds that they might impose their diet on their adoptive child, because they say that a child's upbringing must include eating meat. There's just one problem though: that's not true at all.After filing paperwork towards adopting a child, the would-be parents got back a letter from social services informing them that their application had been rejected because of concerns that the child would be raised as a vegetarian, like them. The head of the Crete's welfare services offered the disappointed couple the following explanation: "We asked the University of Crete medical school on the issue and they said the child's diet must include meat, fish, etc. We do not discriminate but we were obliged to check this out. The issue is now in the hands of the judicial authorities." The couple have petitioned to have the rejection overturned, saying that the ruling based on their diet was "unacceptable and anachronistic." Truth is, millions of children have been raised into healthy adulthood as vegetarians -- and they might actually be healthier than their meat-eating peers. Studies have shown repeatedly that vegetarian men and woman can reduce their risk of an early death by 50 and 30 percent, respectively. Dietitians say that the important nutrients growing bodies require can easily be gained by providing children with plenty of nuts and seeds, and high-protein foods like tofu and eggs. -----signature----- Q: What's an AW?

Just cause some people will eat it who don't normally eat other meats doesn't make it not meat. -----signature----- Moderator I am not a Dev!

	The eggs we eat are unfertalized. They are basically chicken periods. -----signature----- Radio Shack TRS 80 \| 640k \| 5.25 Drive INTEGRATED! A stretched thread = A useless thread

You can usually get some sauce if you just suck on the meat. -----signature----- "My brothers and sisters all hated me because I was an only child." http://www.indiefl.com/acf/profile/86 PM me for the password to my Photobucket: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v455/HeartView/
