I'm a little late to commenting on this, but I noticed that the San Francisco Chronicle's "Accidental Vegetarian" columnist went vegan for a month and wrote about it.

Last week the Chron introduced a new column, entitled The Accidental Vegetarian.  The first article  introduces us to columnist Amanda Berne and sets expectations for what the column will be like.

Funny thingis that she's not actually a vegetarian at all. (So, not even "accidental" more like "occasional.")

There's a positive side to that:

I'm not a vegetarian, but I love vegetarian cooking. Through my years of working in restaurants, and in culinary school, I've found that the most satusfying dishes for me tend to be the vegetable sides or inventive vegetarian entrees.

Columnist Amanda Berne, a trained chef and food writer, loves meat, but believes that when done well, vegetarian dishes can be just as exciting and interesting.

There's a story in today's SF Chronicle about the upcoming movie Blood Diamond. The reporter got my name form BrilliantEarth and the article kicks off talking about me and why I sought a conflict-free diamond engagement ring. I talked to the reporter for quite some time, and I could tell I uttered one sentence that was destine to be a sound bit, namely: "If I'm going to wear something for the rest of my life, I don't want to feel a little bad every time I look at it."

As always I said way more than they could incorporate...missing altogether my concern about environmental and labor practices in favor of my concerns over the funding of violence...which makes sense given the connection to the movie.

Alo, poor Brilliant Earth got way less coverage than I, including not even printing their URL, for the record: brilliantearth.com!

They also mentioned that I was the co-founder of BlogHer, but didn't link that either, for the record: blogher.org!

Still, pretty cool.
