What sites will tell me how to become a vegetarian?

How is vegetarian expensive? Meat is more expensive than veggies.

www.goveg.org

You can go to http://www.vegetarianteen.com/ for lots of info and support. They even have a section on "cheap living" here: http://www.vegetarianteen.com/cheapvegan.shtml Vegetarianism is cheaper than eating meat unless you only buy veggie burgers. Try buying dry lentils, beans, tofu, rice, bread, fruits and veggies and you'll see it's cheap to live veg.

I'm a vegetarian, and I have been since I was 8 years old. I'm the same age as you (14). Go on www.peta.org ("Peta" is an animal rights group, it stands for "People for the Ethical Threatment of Animals"), and on the site you can find a free vegetarian starter kit, that will give you some tips on switching from being a meat eater, to a vegetarian. ( http://www.goveg.com/order.asp) When you are a vegetarian you don't get the vitaman B12, which is only found in meats. I suggest going to a health store, and buying some. I take them everyday. Just remember to eat a lot of protein and meat substitutes, like tofu, cheese, beans ect.... Maybe you should consult a nutritionist, they will tell you exactly what you need to eat to get the protein you need. Hope this helped!

vegan.org is a good site. you don't have to go vegan or anything but under "going vegan" are good meal ideas that you can use that happen to be vegan. That is good that your mom supports you!

vegetarian food is kind of expensive, i would consider cutting out beeef and pork and maybe just eating chicken and fish.
