Me and my mom want to become vegetarians.....????!
Answers: are there any good books like cook books or info books that i could buy... also what tips could u give me...???? thanks!!!!!!!
If you go to www.goveg.com you can get a lot of free info. including recipes! Try that before you go spend money on cookbooks.
Also whenever you have a specific question about something come here and ask... but you'll have to ignore all the haters!
Good luck!! :)
Don't eat MEAT!!!!!
Before you get the cook book you should be looking for some NUTRITION books. Commonly vegetarians that just switched end up having some type of health problem because of lack of "something" in their diet that they were getting from meat...
I wouldn't go out and buy books or anything.
It's pretty easy.
Just don't eat meat :D
No tricks.
I think it is really positive that you and your mom are doing it together. I think that will really help you both to stick with it. As for books, when i first started my mom bought me a cook book called the healthy hedonist and i use it from time to time, cook books can be nice to thumb through and find some ideas every once in a while. The biggest tip i can give you is eat a variety, dont just get locked into a salad every day or anything else every day for that matter, the better the variety, the healthier you will be.
Try Google without the meat. Try the library - there's plenty of selection on good home cooking of the salad types. Are you going to try fish instead? Lentil soup, veggie burgers with walnut topped ice-cream cones. Sounds cool!
WHY??? Dont believe peta and their lies! That is the most crooked organization out there. They play on peoples sympathies for $$$-bottom line!
Get a book called BECOMING VEGETARIAN! It gives really good info about nutrition and the basics for making the transition. I have BECOMING VEGAN and it was invaluable to me. LAUREL'S KITCHEN is the first veg cookbook I ever had and it's a treasure.
To help reaffirm what a good thing you are doing I highly suggest the books MAD COWBOY ( http://www.madcowboy.com/ ) written by a former cattle rancher that tells you some really interesting info about the industry and THE CHINA STUDY ( http://thechinastudy.com ) that details some amazing studies that have been done that show how bad animal products can be for you (it will blow your mind that more people don't know aobut these studies done by reputable universities and researchers who are well-known and respected in the field - this stuff gets BURIED when it should be breaking news).
You guys are doing a great thing and I wish you all the luck in the world!
Get vegetarianism for Dummies, it has a lot of good tips on how to keep your self healthy... I have it too. hope this helps:)
best tip i can think of is don't do it. Mankind is meant to eat meat as well as veggies. If you insist though, check out Amazon.com--search for 'vegetarian cook'
The only way anybody could actually be vegan is if they grow and proudce their own food. Did you know that the plows that tend to grain fields run over and murder tons and tons of woodland critters? So every time oyu eat a piece of bread, you'll be nibbling on little traces of bunny blood. And I doubt you're a very educated vegetarian, because none of them are. Here are just a few of the thigns you probably use that harm animals:
Toothpaste, film( contains gelatine), certain hairbrushes, yogurt, chewing gum, gummy candies such as gummy bears or gummy worms, cheese (contains rennet, which is derived from the stomach of dead baby cows), most gravy, perfume or cologne, and much much more.
So sit there and tlel yourself that you're a wonderful person for helping the animals, but in reality, you're murdering and devouring them every day. Nice job.
I'm not a vegetarian. I eat meat every day and I LOVE IT. There's somethign about pressing your teeth into a nice juicy slab of cow that really puts me in a good mood. I hate vegetarians like you because you think you're better than people who eat meat, but you really kill animals just like the rest of us. You are a hypocrite, my friend. So instead of being a hypocrit, join the rest of us and stuff a piece of serloin in your mouth.
