"with stricter dietary practices than the most vegan of modern
vegetarians"
WHAT were these guys (and gals?) eating? Seems easier to day what was
left than what they didn't eat. I tend of think of a vegan diet as
being extremely limited and if not done with care, a good recipe for
malnutrition.
For myself, I would find a vegetarian menu to be tortuous. I assume
these folks weren't doing this for just forty days, but for much
longer.My admiration goes out to those of you on this list who have
been vegetarians or who have even just accomplished a season of Lenten
restrictions.
