Vegetables Rock! A Complete Guide for Teenage Vegetarians, Stephanie Pierson, Bantam, 1999
Vegetarianism is an increasingly popular diet option, for adults as well as teens. Written by the mother of a 13-year-old vegetarian, this book tells what parents, and teenagers, need to know beforehand.
Going veggie can lower your weight, save money, save the rainforests, and change the world. Don't cut, or eliminate, meat or chicken from your diet just for the sake of doing so; make sure you are getting the appropriate vitamins and minerals elsewhere. If done correctly, you will not become anorexic or anemic without meat, and will be healthier than the average person. If you can't go all the way, there are several different categories of vegetarian.
This book also explores dealing with the school cafeteria lunch line, what to say to meat eaters who think that you have lost your mind, foods that contain hidden animal products, and junk food. Included is a list of pro-veggie websites, mail order sources, and restaurants, plus over 70 pages of recipes for everything from soup to pasta to dessert.
For anyone even thinking about going veggie, teen or adult, this is an excellent place to start. It is very easy to read, and is packed with useful information.
