When your teenager announces that they’ve become a vegetarian, it might be hard to imagine what they’ll be eating now that they’ve cut out meat, chicken and fish. Being a vegetarian doesn’t mean just eating vegetables; it requires thinking about alternative sources of protein an complex carbohydrates. In the 1st week we’ll talk about: the difference between being a vegetarian and a vegan. We’ll explore where to find information about how to eat well on a vegetarian diet; and we’ll talk about some of the new products on the market that provide appetizing and healthy alternative sources of protein. During the 2nd week, we’ll have some hands-on time in the kitchen as we cook up some tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes that everyone in your family will love- even the
most committed meat eater.
