...many teens, vegetarianism is a passionately felt moral imperative. Says high school senior Claire Leavitt, 17, who spit out meat as an infant: "Animals are a part of nature, and we can live without killing them for our taste buds."

"Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually woken up, spit out the apple, got a job, a health-care package and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank?" Maybe. But this year our heroines are considering another option: settling down with Prince Almost-as-Charming.
