I know there's quite a few vegetarians/vegans on CU, and wanted to share this resource:
From the site:
There's really a lot of cool stuff for vegans to do, eat, make, buy, and play with in Columbus. Need to know where in Columbus to find a vegan wedding cake? Vegan cooking classes? Which Ohio colleges test on which animals? Independent purveyors of vegan cookbooks? Local events and farmers market dates? It's here! Have fun!

I use this site and link it on my blog. There are a few other useful resources about the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle pertaining to Columbus.
1). Columbus Vegan -- This is an all-purpose site with a pile of vegan recipes, vegan-friendly event listings and a few restaurant reviews.
2). VegOhio.com -- They list restaurants that are vegan- and/or vegetarian-friendly. The link I included is for the whole state, but it can be limited to Columbus. They also have listings of grocery stores and other veggie resources.
3). VegGuide.org -- This is a vegetarian restaurant guide for Columbus.
4). Nothing Better to Do -- And I couldn't pass up the opportunity to plug my site. I'm a lacto/ovo-vegetarian, but I list a number of vegan places in my restaurant reviews. Do with it what you will.
I'm sure there are other resources. These are the best 5 I know of.

I've been reading that site for a while. I just wish I could afford to eat out that often.

Columbus has a healthy vegetarian, and in particular, vegan scene. Dragonfly/On the Fly, Pattycake, and Rad Dog are great and that's regardless of if you're vegan.

As for me at least, eating plants instead of animal products has been the easiest of all of my attempts to minimize--if not eliminate--my participation in 'systems of oppression.' ( Sorry but I'm not coming up w/ a less activist-jargon-laden way of saying that.)
Cycling instead of driving has been slightly more challenging than changing my diet. And much more complex and otherwise challenging has been extracting myself from buying things such as cell phones and computers.
Those communications gadgets seem so useful to activists such as me (as well as people in general for good or bad, whether opposing a dictator in Egypt or doing a violent flash mob in Philly.)
But these gadgets---including this computer and the servers running this site--- are tied to sweatshop/slave labor in terms of how they're manufactured and how they're processed as e-waste; as well as the mining of raw materials such as tin oxite.
For some of us the suffering of people we don't know and of animals we don't see (or hear and smell ) is something to dismiss or even laugh about. What causes a mentality such as that ?
I ask not out of pointing my finger at someone else, but as a request for help with further developing my own empathy.
