  Baron Tibor,
  Are vegetarians allowed to eat animal crackers?....<he asks innocently>

This was quite a moral dilemma for the right-thinking some years ago, when
it was first proposed.

The answer is, that you are allowed to do so.  Consider: if I cut a lettuce
leaf in the shape of a bear, has its nature changed?  No, of course not. If
I shape ground beef into a simulation of an eggplant, has it become an
eggplant?  Of course not.

Since vegetarianism is not really a religion, we have no miracle of
transubstantiation to concern ourselves with.

	Tibor (:-)
