Any other Vegetarians out there?

I know several doctors who are vegos, and that was one of the hardest things for them to reconcile, YFM. Ultimately, you can't avoid products that are tested on animals entirely, the same way that dissections and animal testing are part of research practice. Youd' be amazed at the rigors of ethics committees though - my older brother had a real hoopla when he was doing he PhD, and they're stringent about how such research takes place, if it takes place at all.

As to lines of products that undergo animal testing, I'd strongly recommend Lush which has branches all over the world and is fantastic when it come to fair trade, eco development and non animal testing. Started in the UK too.
