Introduction
Hi! Welcome to the Vegetarian Society’s
guide to being a young veggie. This guide
is for you if you’re already a vegetarian,
thinking about becoming one or just
curious about vegetarianism.
Here at the Vegetarian Society,
we believe that being a veggie is a
wonderful way to live. And we’re not
the only ones. There are millions of
vegetarians in the UK alone.
Being a vegetarian is about so much
more than eating salad! You can
munch on mouth-watering meals
whilst knowing that you are being
kind to animals and our planet.
Sounds good, right?
The following pages are bursting
with tips, information and recipes.
There are fun facts to i nd and real
young veggies to meet. So get
reading and enjoy!

What is a vegetarian?
A vegetarian is someone who does not eat animals.
This means no cows, pigs, sheep, i sh, prawns, birds
or any other animal you can think of! Vegetarians also
do not eat foods that contain ingredients made from
dead animals.
Learn more about these foods on page 15.

My advice for new veggies
is not to listen to people’s
comments! Don’t stick to
the same old foods, be
exotic and try to spice it
up a bit.

I was born a vegetarian
and my favourite meal is
chick pea curry. My advice
to new veggies is check
food labels and always
look for the Vegetarian
Society logo.

                                                                         So what DO they eat?
Vegetarians eat all kinds of tasty food
and lots of it is just like the food that
meat-eaters enjoy. They might eat or
drink milk, cheese, butter, eggs or ice
cream. They can eat crisps, chocolate,
pizza, pasta, fruit and vegetables.
There are vegetarian sausages, burgers,
soups and pies that are totally meat-free.
What’s a vegan?
A vegan is someone who doesn’t
eat or drink any part of an animal or
anything that comes from an animal.
This includes meat, milk, butter,
cheese, yoghurt, eggs and honey.
Some vegetarians and vegans also
choose not to wear clothes made from
wool, leather, fur or silk because animals
have to suffer or die to make them.

My favourite meal is stir-fry.
We use different vegetables,
fruits, nuts and tofu. The
one I like best has onions,
mushroom, tofu, carrots,
mango and pineapple in it.

My dad’s special
Saturday night veggie
meal is my favourite –
Mexican nachos and
kidney bean wraps
with salad.
