I was just wondering how many vegetarian/vegans we have yoyoing, as it makes me happy to learn that people are vegetarian/vegan. I myself am vegetarian and plan to go vegan when I leave for college.
what is the difference between vegetarian and vegan?
good question!
Vegetarian- no meat
Vegan-no animal products (dairy, leather, eggs etc)

Just be sure you are getting your essential vitamins and amino acids. Without proper planning this can lead to malnutrition in a hurry.
I cook for a lot veggie/vegans. You should definitely check out TVP, it is a meat substitute that is some type of protein. I remember making good chili with it
and take a daily multi-vitamin. (This is good for everyone, not just vegans/vegetarians.)
Iām 30 and have been a vegetarian since I was 13. Hopefully when I get to the Rosen today Iāll find some good veggies somewhere!

I eat a lot of veggie meals, though Iām not strictly vegetarian. I probably eat meat twice a week.
I just find I feel so much better and more alive when I eat less meat, not to mention the benefit to the planet.
I think I probably would go 100% vegetarian, but my wife struggles a bit weaning herself off meat.
Thatās awesome! Everyone eats waaaaaaaaaaaay too much meat. If you canāt go vegetarian, what youāre doing is perfect.
Iāve never been a fan of dairy myself but Iāll have some every now and then. I love meat but Iām trying to cut down on it.
I also Juice which is awesome.
Iāve heard some people talking about no-meat mondays. Basically people arenāt going to not eat meat on mondays. I think its a great idea, but we need to get more people involved with it.
I sometimes do no meat Fridays.
those work just as well 
Yea, I donāt necessarily have anything against meat (I have a soft spot for wood cured bacon, mmmmā¦), but I do agree that almost everyone eats WAY more of it than they should.
I think itās really just marketing that has conditioned everyone into thinking that you have to eat meat with every meal. McDās anyone?
I find it sad that vegetarian food is so hard to find when it uses less resources to manufacture and prepare. Iād much rather have falafel in a wrap (with hummus and tahina) than a burger (with ketchup). Sit down restaurants arenāt much better. Itās at the point where I find it hard to take my wife out to dinner as I know I will be disappointed with the food (and as I do my own brewing, Iāll be disappointed by the drinks too!).
Iāve been a vegetarian for about 18 years now.

Soā¦ the next logical questionā¦
How about sharing some easy and tasty veggie recipes? I know I need some fresh ideas 
Iāve been a vegetarian for my whole life. I love cheese too much to become vegan 
Iāve had meat a couple of times by accident, and it was horrible.
Anytime someone finds out Iām a vegetarian, they always ask me if I eat fish. Are there some vegetarians that eat fish? Iāve never heard of this. :-\

^^ Piscetarians eat fish.
I never understood that though, one of the guys I work with is vegetarian and he gets that all the time: āOh, so youāre vegetarian. Should I make chicken or would you prefer fish?ā. What the ****?

Some people are vegetarians because of the poor living conditions and treatment of the animals slaughtered for our taste budās enjoyment. However, how exactly do you provide bad living conditions for a fish? Fish are given good homes before they are killed, because they need it to be healthy and grow big. I donāt eat fish though, I still think it is unethical to kill a fish even if they were provided a good environment.
easy? Tasty? Fattening and greasy? Then Michael Angeloās Eggplant Parmesan is the food for you. While it isnāt the healthiest thing out there, boy does it taste amazing. Itās also frozen, so just pop it in the microwave for a few minutes and itās ready to go. My favorite food right now as a matter of fact.
