[edit] Restaurants

What are the criteria for including restaurants on this template? Not all seem especially noteworthy. I don't think that section is very relevant and should be perhaps removed. - AKeen 20:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Which ones do not appear to be noteworthy? The section is relevant to vegetarian cuisine and is appropriate. —Viriditas | Talk 21:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, certain vegetarian restaurants are clearly important - but theoretically, as it stands, any vegetarian restaurant could be included here. I see Chicago Diner as somewhat significant, or at least historic, to vegetarianism, whereas I see Maoz as a restaurant chain that just happens to be vegetarian. As more articles are created for vegetarian restaurants, inclusion criteria will have to be considered. - AKeen (talk) 17:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Freeganism

I took freeganism off because most of the freegans i know are not vegan, they aren't even vegetarian.

thanks you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.17.202.105 (talk) 20:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, they aren't vegetarian, but they never collaborate with the animal exploitation so they are in part linked to veganism. Another fact is that "The word "freegan" is a portmanteau of "free" and "vegan"", so I see a strong connection and I think it would be in the template. Akhran (talk) 11:26, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Vegetarianism/Veganism activists

I think vegetarian/vegan activists should be included (Campbell, Robbins, and, though she is most famous for studying gorillas, Goodall.) All the best, Kayau (Talk to me! See what I've done! Sign my guestbook!) 10:42, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Diets

There should be a 'diets' section listing vegetarian diets and a seperate 'related diets' listing all the others, pescetarian etc. As it stands it is misleading. I can see that both 'Semi-vegetarianism' and 'Vegetarianism and religion' are highlighted but I don't think highlighting makes it clear enough that these are meant to be headings and that the following links are not related to the main heading on the left of the table.

[edit] Food and Drink

This section is ridiculous, where is the line drawn on whats included? This could end up listing hundreds of links. Muleattack (talk) 22:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I've removed brand name products from the list (shreese, tofurkey etc) and individual plant milks (soy milk, rice milk etc.) as these are covered by broader articles listed. Muleattack (talk) 22:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
