I've only been on three van gathering.  There was food at all three, there
was at least one vegetarian at each gathering and no one made fun or
ridiculed, or even mentioned it.

No one was offended by vegetarianism that I read.  And their posts were as
much on van topics as the original, I believe.

Now I'm not saying you'd be safe around Terry of Chicago or Karl of Arizona
or even Ben of T but they don't count anyway.
