Ask the Nutritionist

Well you can start by reading this iVillage article and then come to talk with others about it at either the Vegetarian Living or Vegetarian/Vegan Families board.

I'm cl-finian, Joelle, and I've been vegetarian from the ages of 14-19 and then 26-31, with the last few years having made the jump to veganism (meaning that I don't eat any animal products, although I'm not super strict on that because I'm a recovering anorexic). Sometimes it can be difficult to be a vegetarian when you feel like you're the only one around and I'm glad to have found these communities online for support when life away from the computer gets frustrating. We share things like recipes, what restaurants work best for vegetarians, safe ways to raise our children has vegetarians, making sure they still get what they need on a vegetarian diet
