I recently got Jamie Oliver's recipe book, VEG. In the introduction, he refrains from using words like vegetarian, or vegan. Because, he says, the last thing we need in the world right now is more labels.

Especially when it comes to food.

Food is supposed to bring people together, not cause a fight.

In short, be careful of labelling to soon, lest you set up turf you later have to defend against those you love.
