In your Miles books you often talk about how vat-grown meat makes it ethical to eat meat. What dietary restrictions do you observe in your life?
Lois McMaster Bujold
I have no dietary restrictions, although in recent years I've had to give up coffee :-( because it gives me indigestion.
For a while, I was trying to do dinners for a group which included a vegetarian, a person on the Atkins diet, and a person who did not like fish. I think I finally had them brown-bag it...
There are some classic old SF stories about vat meat versus dietary shibboleths, which the commenters can probably chime in with.

As a fan of your Vorkosigan universe and also as a big geeky nerd who loves sci-fi RPGs, do you use Traveller or other games as inspiration for your universe? Incidentally, the GURPS sourcebook was my gateway (pun intended) into your wonderful series several years ago. Love that book as well and am forever grateful for coming across it.

Hi Lois! My student Pablo Sánchez's BA dissertation on 'Ethan of Athos' can be found here: http://ddd.uab.cat/record/180123. He's about to publish this in Spanish, in the online journal Hélice. And I'm teaching right now your novel to my English Studies undergrad students here at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Any message for them? Best wishes, Sara
