I went to vegetarianism to avoid fad diets. Works well for me and I stay at a lean 176 and 10% BF. When I have a craving for a burger, I have found the combination of veggie patties, grill and vegetables to make something that tastes significantly better than anything I got from a fast food chain years ago.

To keep it relevant:

I'm halfway through Manhattan Transfer and have to say that Dos Passos did a remarkable job of showing a sequence of lives shattered and then picked up for viewing by his audience. It actually takes a bit of reading before you realize the twist in the writing style. Modernity and Post-modern writing styles always make me smile when you figure out their device.
