From the forum: How do vegetarians observe lent?

Several Christian traditions observe Lent by abstaining from meat, eggs, or dairy products, that is, by eating vegetarian or vegan for a few weeks as a form of "fasting". But if you already eat vegetarian or vegan year round, then continuing to do so during Lent just doesn't carry the same meaning. So what do you do? One forum user wants to know. He asks:

Lots of people give up meat or only eat meat once a week or something for Lent, which just started a couple days ago. But what do you give up if you're already vegetarian or vegan? Chocolate? Sugar? What? I'm open to hearing any and all ideas and suggestions.

I have to admit, I'm a bit curious too. If you're a vegetarian or vegan who observes lent and wouldn't mind sharing, please respond in the vegetarian forums here.
