While doing research for this book I want to write for my seminar in the novel class I'm going to be taking, I discovered this at the top of a local Catholic church's webpage:

"Low-Gluten Hosts AvailableWe would like to inform those persons who suffer from celiac disease or wheat allergies that we have low-gluten hosts as authorized by the U.S.

Depends--a lot of celiac cuisine is veggie, and one can be a celiac veggie (cuts down on stress and is better for you, if you know what you're doing.) As for vegetarian hosts, I think it just depends on where the host wafers are made...the number of manufacturers is dwindling more and more, but having eaten many host wafers, i'd like to say i'd be surprised if it's anything more than whole wheat flour and water.

GAH! Did nobody understand my joke?!

I should throw maple syrup at you.

they're not vegetarian??
weird.

[karmia]

the concept behind the host is that you're eating Jesus' flesh. So, technically speaking, yes, they're vegetarian, because they're, like, flour, water, and a dash of tastelessness.

soooo..... cannibal still counts as veggie because it's not eating an "animal?"

i think i get it now....
(you're too subtle for your own good, by the way)
