Aye, being vegetarian is relatively easy: just don't eat meat, you can still get protein from any form of dairy, albeit with increased fat content. Being vegan means having to find substitutes every time you want to bake, cook, or buy anything from the store. I have a friend who's been a hardcore vegan for years and even she needs an app on her phone to filter food for her. That aside, this is also one of the least enforceable contracts out there. Want to half your water bill? Pair up with a neighbor: you buy the veggies, they buy the meat, split the saving from water at the end of the month. Still I'm happy to see that PETA is at least re-directing their attention away from promoting the assault of scientists...
