Ive been a vegetarian for 10 yrs* its not
hard for me anymore at least, I dont
remember it ever being hard but it is a
little harder when u start older but
definitly doable.I cant think of too many
certain easy vegetarian recipes right now
and dont have much time cuz we got alot of
cleanin to do for the shower. .But
basically, everything others eat with
meat, can be made vegeatarian. Plus, I
dont know where u live, but I buy
morningstar (the brand) veggie burger,
veggie sausages, veggie chic patties etc
which are great.. .But if u go to yahoo
and type in vegetarian recipes, alot comes
up. Goodluck ,its a good way of eating,
just can be difficult sometimes to get
everything you need*

Kitty- why did you "quit" being a
vegetarian?
Kari-thanks! Im going to check the
grocery store for morningstar product.
Are the sausages good..I heard hotdogs
tasted nasty..And like rubber so I was
wondering if the sausages were sort of the
same as the hotdogs. Thanks again!

O no no I hate the hotdogs (ive never
liked hotdogs anyhow) but I love the
veggie sausages. Most the veggie burgers
dont taste like real meat. .But see, I
like that cuz I dont like the taste of
meat anymore of course. Havent tasted any
in 10 1/2 yrs but I still remember it!
Lol... But u'd be surprised,they have
some great tasting products. And my
brother, who does like the taste of meat,
eats boca brand sometimes because he says
they taste more like meat. (hes not a
vegetarian tho) this stuff can get
expensive tho, its like 4$ for a box (4
come in the veggie burgers, 6 in the
sausages, but their smaller) but yea just
look online for recipes that are meatless.
.Theres tons. But also, if ur
considering to keep with it for good, make
sure you look up health plans on it so you
get enough nutrition* its harder, most
docs reccomend takin a vitamin daily if ur
a veg. And gettin plenty of calcium and
protein. I am used to bein a vegetarian,
I could never go 'against' it myself
because I would feel so terrible now..Its
a good way to go, normally healthier too
as long as u dont just eat fatty foods and
carbs n candy all the time* is there a
reason why u want to be a vegetarian?

I came across peta website and saw some
videos of what goes on at meat farms. It
turned me off from meat instantly. Thats
the reason why I want to become
vegetarian. As for veggie burgers, i've
had the ones from harveys and they taste
10x better than real meat burgers. Its
spicier! :d

Isn't being a vegetarian unhealty?
Seriously, I just wondered cause that is
what everyone seems to say.
If you like lasagna, and eggplant (i guess
you would have to like both!) you can make
eggplant lasagna, which if it is made
right is awesome. But, you could always
just make lasagna without meat too. I
love pasta, so that would be my best bet
right there!
I have never watched what goes on at the
meat plants, and if I did I am sure I
would never eat it again either.

I dont know why I quit.. I just did. It
would be so hard for me to come one again
cuz I am so picky!! And I hate fish(yuck)
so all I would eat is bread and veggies
and fruits!!

No it isnt unhealthy at all. As long as
u make healthy choices hotasfrick. U
cant just fill up on carbs like pasta or
it is unhealthy (u eat carbs too tho of
course everyday), but u have to have foods
from all food groups at each meal, or at
least try to in general.
