Living a vegetarian lifestyle has merits, but to be totally bias or create a ''meat is wrong" mentality may be off putting to sensible dieting. To find alternative good nutrients, may become a creative opportunity & adventurous, or to some to be paranoid.

My daughter became vegetarian at the age of 9.She had watched a Programme on TV at school all about culling deer so that was it for her no more meat. So I have to cook her many different vegetarian dishes.I can see the benefits but would find it really hard to give up my bacon.

I have been a vegetarian for 35 years and its definitely not an easy option. Going out to restaurants or friends places for meals is always challenging. I could never go back to eating meat and as long as I'm careful with what I eat I maintain a fairly healthy lifestyle.

I have just become a Vegetarian (before that I was only eating fish and seafood) and I feel the healthiest I have ever felt. When you take meat out of your diet you become very conscious of making sure you get enough iron. When I used to eat meat I always had low iron, and I know it is because I relied solely on meat to give me the iron I needed, but I didn't eat anywhere near enough to get enough iron a day (for my age and sex I need 18mg/day, which equates to roughly 3 pieces of steak!). It is definitely a very healthy lifestyle and it feels good knowing that an animal hasn't had to suffer for my benefit.

It's all well and good to eat lots of vegetables and if I lived on my own I'd consider becoming a vegetarian. However I could use some advice on how to keep my iron up as I am slightly anemic and have two other female relatives who are the same - help?

I would LOVE to become a vegetarian but my family will not have a bar of it.

I haven't eaten meat since a friends Mum served up lamb's tongue, after eating it I was told what it was. This was 36 years ago. I've always cooked meat for the family, but they are more than happy to go meatless 1 or 2 meals a week.

I would like to introduce vegetarian meals into our family routine so this is a very interesting read and the comments.

Most of them think that it is a lot healthier to cut meat out of their diets. Meat has a lot of good nutrition in it, but it also has a lot of saturated fat and internet providers near me harmful chemicals from the pesticide-filled food that the animals eat.
