Unfortunately a lot of beer, in particularly lager is not vegetarian. Discussing this over a pint with a vege can be tricky, especially if they love Guinness (which is i believe filtered with a by-product from fish), as I did.
I find vegetarianism is more a way of life than a diet.
Amusingly, the expert Russian doesn't appear to know the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian!
I am a vegetarian and will actively avoid products made of leather, fur or from anything that comes from an animal, but unfortunately some of the alternatives do a lot of damage to the environment, cotton being a major culprit.
It's all about the wonder crop known as hemp!
Is Paris a vegetarian, who eats fish, and meat, like so many of them!
I think we need to stop being so narrow-minded here. New coal plants are completely unnecessary.
There are much better solutions to our energy demands, such as using local renewables to power cities and not wasting most of the electricity as heat on the grid. Carbon capture for coat plants will not exist for decades, much too late to have any effect on global warming.
Eon are playing on the unusable technology to create an illusion their plant will be clean. It will pump out more CO2 than 30, although undeveloped countries put together - thats hardly responsible when the climate threat is real and over the years will create far more inconveniences than "tree-huggers".
