Could anyone help me out with vegan restaurants in Paris? Did a search on the net but can't come up with anything, so maybe someone has an idea?

not personal recommendations, but here are lists--details are provided on vegetarian vs vegan

Thank you!

Vegetarian restaurants are not too difficult to find, but there is probably not more than one or two vegan restaurants, if that many. Vegans are in decline in France anyway since the latest studies have determined that a vegan diet starves the cells of the organism and makes them age faster, as they try so hard to try to suck some life out of the meager nourishment that they receive, it exhausts them.

I had a vegan friend who was ordered by his doctor to stop it immediately, and he is doing much better now.

Kerouac,

Do you have a source for those studies? My two sons have been vegan for a number of years, and I'm always on the lookout for arguments against these sorts of diets, which I consider unhealthy. One son goes on a month long diet of only watermelon each summer, for a month, for example.

The friend who followed the doctor's orders is Swiss German -- a hotbed of that sort of thing. I'm sure there are a lot of studies in Switzerland.

Actually, most vegetarians and vegans I have known have been cured of it by falling in love with a normal eater.

nukesafe-I don't have any studies, but when my now sister-in-law visited us the first time in the US she was 18 and watching her weight. So she decided to eat nothing but watermelon for a month when she went on a road trip though California. She ended up at a dentist with bleeding gums and found out she had scurvy! He was so astounded he ended up writing a journal article on it. He said he never had seen a case in the US before.

as you must know, a watermelon-only diet (or any XXX-only diet) is hardly a sensible approach to eating, and would not be advocated by any sensible vegan or omnivore.
