Answers:
There are lots of veggie burgers, veggie hots, soy crumbles and if you are not going VEGAN, cheese is always available in many forms!. also get lots of beans, lentils, nuts too!.
But also do remember that being a vegetarian is so much more than not eating meat!. It means that you eat VEGETABLES!!! Don't get carried away with just burgers, dogs cheese and breads!. Too many carbs are not going to help in the long run!.
Fill up on bright colored veggies -- steamed broccoli, bright carrots, tomatoes, colorful peppers, zucchini, fresh spinach, and more!. This is a great season for farm fresh local produce!. Have your mom take you to the local farmers marked and buy from growers you know!. Eating local is just as helpful to the environment, as veggie eating is to animals! Shipping food across country costs billions of gallons of gas, and produces exhaust pollution!. Support a farmer in the community you live in!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

First of all, you don't need meat in the first place, so you don't need to substitute it!.

Wow, we're exactly the same!
Some things that are really yummy are:
veggie dogs
veggie burgers
They are really good, and even though they dont taste like actual burgers, they are great tasting!.
Some cheese that you might want to try:
Brie (you cook it in the oven!. it's gooey and really good on bread)!.
Goat Cheese (great on crackers)
Halloom (cook it on the barbeque or in a pan!. it's really nice, but very squeaky!. very differnt texture!.)
There is some artificial meat too, but I dont like it too much!.
However, meatless chicken nuggets are very good!.
Tofu is definately an interesting food to try!. I love it, but most of the people I show it to dont like it!. You cook it in different food, like noodles, or salads!. it's really good!. I eat it plain with chopsticks!.
all of this can be found at Zhers, I can tell you confidently!. Or, at least the one in my town!. It's not a huge superstore, so you should be able to find it easily!. A lot of stores (not mine) have vegetarian sections!.
Good luck! You're awesome for being veggie in the first place =DWww@FoodAQ@Com

Eat a variety and you should be okay!. Grains, fruits, veggies, and legumes, nuts, and seeds every day!. Dairy is an optional daily, but try to get some at least once a week!. Eggs can be weekly!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
