Men, you'll want to eat celery after reading this!
 This is one of those news stories that is really only peripherally related to vegetarian food, but I still just can't help but share it. A couple of doctors decided, for some reason, to study celery. Or perhaps they were trying to figure out how to pick up chicks (the real reason they went to med school, perhaps?). At any rate, these doctors have discovered that the real way to pick up chicks is not contained in aftershave, lifting weights, cheesy pick-up lines or even in chocolate and roses. No, the real secret to making men attractive to the opposite sex is in celery. That's right, celery. Find out more.
| Vegan chicken at Chipotle!
 Have I mentioned lately how much I love it when fast food restaurants offer vegetarian and vegan menu options (Oh yeah, that's right, I have!)? Well, add another one to the list! Chipotle, a Mexican fast-food chain has long been a favorite with vegetarians and vegans as a place to get a quick and fresh meal (and also because they offer free guacamole on meatless burritos- yay!), is giving a test run at six locations to see what customers think of a new vegan "chicken" in their burritos and tacos.

Here's what you've been missing: Allergic to soy and gluten Eibhir posts that he/she is trying to help a friend go veg, but this friend is allergic to just about everything one could possibly be allergic to, including soy, gluten and nuts. Yikes! Some posters jump in with some great responses. See what they've got to say, or help out with some tips. Pregnant and vegetarian A concerned mom-to-be asks for reassurance that she can have a healthy pregnancy while staying vegetarian. Several moms offer tips for getting plenty of nutrients, and, of course, someone has to tell an anecdote of a "friend-of-a-friend" who randomly started eating steak while preggers. Can lie detectors detect suffering carrots? A perfectly innocent debate about a Mythbusters episode on TV descends into incomprehensible nonsense about yogurt and stomach acids. What fun!
