Just looking online for different vegetarian websites, I found that PETA's website was full of information. The first thing I noticed, after looking a bit at very old versions of their website, was that they've really promoted the fact that Paul McCartney is a vegan. Like, this is a really big thing for them. We're talking on the front page multiple times over the course of just a few years. As I continued searching, I noticed that they relied heavily on celebrity endorsement, and many of their homepages featured articles about famous people endorsing vegetarianism, veganism, or animal rights.

I'm also planning on exploring the vegetarian sections of Reddit, a huge online community made up of different various smaller communities called subreddits. Each subreddit can be searched by various criteria, and since Reddit is such a popular website, I feel like it would be a great resource.
