Vegetarianism; The word triers an irne of a frail
old man in flowing robes sharing a bowl of brown
rice and yogurt with goats on a mountaintop. But,
despite this stereotype, a meatless diet is not neces
sarily reserved for century-old gurus of the Himalayas.
The trend has taken hold in the United States where,
according to a survey published in Consumer Reports,
7 million people now label themselves vegetarians.
In the strictest sense of the word, a total "vegan"
doesn't eat any animal flesh or byproducts or use
any leather products. Some eat only vegetables, ex
cluding grains as well as animal products from their
diets.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians, who constitute the largest
group of non-meat eaters, eat only dairy products
and eggs.
Although they are not vegetarians technically,
there are some people who give up red meat and eat
only fish and chicken.
Reasons behind the vegetarian diet are as varied
as the diet itself.
In a local survey, most vegetarians cited the health
benefits. -
"My skin, my hair, everything just feels better,"
said UNC senior Mary Marozzi, a fish and poultry
eater who was dining at a local vegetarian restaurant
Red meat cramps up my stomach."
"I like to enjoy my food and not feel so full after
ward," said sophomore Tami Davis, an "on-and-off"
vegetarian. Davis eats meat once every five
months or so, but she said she does not care for it.
Others cited the preservatives and chemicals used
in meat preparation, as well as wasteful methods of
raising beef cows, as their reasons for kicking the
carnivorous habit.
"A cow eats 20 pounds of grain to produce only
one pound of beef," said Lisa Hamell, an employee
of a local vegetarian restaurant.
A convert of , five months, University freshman
Peter Brown has sentimental logic attached to his
reasons. "My sweetheart is a vegetarian and since
we eat together a lot, it's kind of convenient. That,
plus the fact that I thought it would be a fun experi
ment." ; : ; , ,
In 1974 the National Academy of Science National
Research Council put its seal of approval on the
vegetarian diet.
The council, which standardizes the Daily Recom
mended Allowance table for Americans, concluded
all but the most restricted vegetarian diet can fulfill
nutritional needs. .
John Anderson of the University nutrition depart
ment said he was not against a meatless diet for those
who prefer it. However, he indicated concern about
pregnant or lactating vegetarians.
"Lactation and pregnancy are definitely risky
periods," Anderson said. "You strictly cannot get
enough nourishment.
"We have data that prove that vegetarians' child
ren don't grow well at all."
Otherwise, Anderson said he thought adults were
safe in choosing a meatless diet, as long as they took
the time to plan their meals.
A lacto-ovo vegetarian of two years, Mary Schreibeis
agrees that balancing a diet can pose a problem, but
by combining the right foods, she said she can get
the proper protein requirements.
"It's not easy but it's definitely not a boring
diet," she said. "It just takes a little more work."
Schreibeis said her breakfast usually consisted of
hot or cold cereal, depending on the weather. For
lunch she said she usually ate a salad and bean or
vegetable soup. Dinner takes the form of a vegetable
pie or another casserole.
Other vegetarians may rely heavily on eggs and
dairy products for protein.
But Harnell discovered her source of protein in
tofu, a soybean curd that can be used with all types
of dishes. HarnelPs favorite is a variation of the
typical junk food, whole wheat pizza with tofu.
Some vegetarians complained of problems such
as the winter off-season for vegetables and a lack of
restaurants serving vegetarian cuisine.
Students on the meal plan, however, can find a
vegetarian entree at Chase Cafeteria every day, ac
cording to Bob Gillody, production manager at the
Pine Room and former manager of Chase.
Gillody added that fish and cheese strata, and
cheese casseroles were big favorites at the all-you-can-eat
cafeteria. 1
"We over at Chase decided to put in an all-you-can-eat
salad bar to take the pressure off the meat
line," Gillody said.
Howard Southerland, the new director of ARA
(UNC's food service), said he would be interested in
hearing students ideas for a vegetarian plan at the
Pine Room although many of their entrees are made
without meat.
"We'd like some feedback as to what students
want," he said. "Anyone with ideas or recipes
should bring them to me and we can talk about it."
Still, some vegetarians may have problems with
concerned parents and avid beef lovers.
"My mother thinks you can't survive without a
steak every other day," senior Marozzi said with a
laugh. '
Schreibeis, on the other hand, has had a few de
bates about her vegetarianism. "They (meat eaters)
came out a little more educated about the whole
thing," she said.
Some of those interviewed felt the wave toward
natural products in general was spreading. P. A.
Mitchell, a non-vegetarian who calls himself "just
the milkman," said he had seen it coming all along.
Mitchell has been delivering all-natural dairy pro
ducts for 20 years.
"It's common now people are just accepting
it," Claudia Green, a vegetarian of two years, said.
"Vegetarianism has opened a lot of people's eyes to
the way their bodies work."
