What do George Harrison and Catherine of Siena ...

... have in common?

I'd been reading a post at Lee's blog - A simple argument for vegetarianism - and realized that aside from John Dear SJ and Andrew Linzey, I know of few other vegetarians. So I found a Wikipedia page that lists vegetarians. Such a disparate group of people, from poet Rainer Maria Rilke and existentialist Franz Kafka to Catherine of Siena and John Chrysostom to half the Beatles, a number of Playboy bunnies, and Frankenstein's monster (and hey, Brian Greene is a vegan - list of vegans) ... now I don't feel so alone :)
