"I can't eat that, I'm a vegetarian!"

 A vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat meat, and

mostly eats foods that come from plants, like
grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
"I can't eat that, I'm a vegetarian!"

 Some stricter vegetarians avoid more than just meat. They also avoid
animal products, which are nonmeat foods that come from animals. Some
examples would be milk (from cows) and eggs (from chickens).

 Why Are People Vegetarians?

  Some follow vegetarian or

semi-vegetarian diets for
health reasons. A diet rich in
fruits, vegetables, and
grains is low in
fat and cholesterol, which is
good for your heart. It's also
can be lower in calories.
 Why Are People Vegetarians?
 Concern for animals and environmental reasons are also
cited by vegetarians when they explain why they don't eat
meat. In addition, some cultures and religions have
vegetarian diets.
 Do Vegetarians Need Multivitamin Supplements?

 With a well-planned
vegetarian diet, the food a
person eats can supply
enough vitamins and
minerals, but a multivitamin
is often recommended. Why?
Because a vitamin helps
ensure that you'll get all the
nutrients a growing kid needs.
Ask your doctor or a
registered dietician for advice
about vitamins.
Can Kids Be Vegetarians?

 Meat is a good source of

protein, iron, and other
important nutrients. So
someone who's a vegetarian
needs to take care to
replace those nutrients with
non-meat foods. It wouldn't
be healthy for a kid to just
stop eating meat without
telling anyone or having an
adult help with some
dietary changes.
World Vegetarian Day
  It is celebrated annually
on October 1. It was
established by the North
American Vegetarian
Society in 1977 and
endorsed by
the International
Vegetarian Union in 1978.
