Just a little clarifying note (albiet a trifle off-topic!!) about Adventists and vegetarianism
(Andrew wrote: < Their views may be peculiar to outsiders (strict
vegetarianism, for instance), but as a group they do not reject logic...>): it is actually neither
"strict", nor (to correct another quite popular notion!) are any of our dietary positions based upon
ritual - all are simply a matter of health. It is, by the way a matter of fact (not theory!) that
Adventists live about 8 years longer than the North American average, and that the ones who live the
longest are the vegans :-}.
sparodically Pisciverous in Canada,

P.S.: To tie this message into the "conch" theme, we don't eat them - probably one of the reasons
Adventists are so scarce in France!!
