Why is vegetarian food expensive? Is it expensive? Is it to discourage people from being vegetarians?
I am thinking about going vegetarian but my parents say that veggi food is more expensive! Is that true?
I would have to disagree Meat is pretty costly now. The only things that tend to cost more are preprocessed foods and fake meats.
Is it all right to feed cats on vegetarian food?
I am a vegan and I have been feeding my 3-year-old cat on vegetarian food. Is it good for the cat?
Cats need meat to stay healthy. I’m vegetarian too but feed my cats meat because they need it.
I don’t like buying it but it’s not right to force my choice of being veggie on them.

Do you hav any ideas?Thanks
Plan your meals.
1) Breakfast: cereal, toast, bagel, fruit etcs.. – this covers your daily carbs, better to have carbs in the morning versus at night.
2) Mid morning: yogurt, apple, protein bar. this will give you energy
3) Lunch: veggie sandwich, grilled veggies, veggie soup with lots of beans – you’ll get your proteins and with the veggies, get your "a,b,c,d,e" vitamins.
4) Dinner: big spinach salad, or a leafy green salad, with a main course veggie dish. the salad covers your iron and more protein, with great vitamins. – b12
The main course veggie dish, – you can basically have what you want as along as it not to heavey in crabs. like don’t eat loads and loads of paste or bread. but a little is good!
For ideas for recipes go on-line and there are loads of healthy free veggie recipes!

Differences Between Vegetarian and Raw Food Diets
There are a few distinct differences between vegetarian and raw food diets. Basically, a vegetarian is someone who is committed to not eat meat, fish, poultry or any animal products, but only consumes vegetables, pasta, and rice. On the other hand, a raw foodist is a vegetarian, but one who eats unprocessed, uncooked, organic, whole foods, like fruits, vegetables, nuts seeds, legumes, dried fruits, seaweeds, etc. It denotes a diet that is at least 75% uncooked! Raw foodist cooks very little and definitely doesn’t cook or process fruits and vegetables. Raw foodist simply eats them raw.
Raw foodist, vegans and frutarians are some of the different categories of vegetarians. Yes, raw foodist is a category of vegetarianism as mentioned earlier. However, to be a raw food purist, you should eat raw vegetables like raw broccoli, not steamed. To a vegetarian, who doesn’t eat meat or fish or any animal products, steamed vegetables are just as good, though every person would concur that steaming can take out nutrients from foods and turn them into less nutritious. A vegetarian might consume dairy or egg products but a vegan will not consume any animal products at all. The raw foodist then is a vegan who consumes only uncooked, unprocessed raw foods.
Enzymes are the life force of a food and that every food has its own perfect combination as believed by raw food diet advocates. These enzymes help us digest foods completely, without relying on our body to produce its own cocktail of digestive enzymes.
The cooking process is thought to destroy food enzymes. It can take so much of the basic nutritional value away. Other than that, cooked foods not only take any longer to digest, but they also let the partially digested fats, proteins and carbohydrates to block our gut and arteries.
Below are some health benefits cited by the raw diet followers:
• Improved digestion
• Increased energy levels
• Reduced risk of heart diseased
• Improved appearance of skin
• Weight loss

What are some vegetarian food I can cook for my parents?
Last night I had an argument with my dad…this morning I had an argument with my mom. I want to make it up to them by cooking them a meal. They are vegetarians… and inside the house there isn’t really much but the basic vegetables, food, etc. I don’t know what to make them. Any ideas? Please and Thank-you!!!
This is good!
Chickpea Burgers
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" pieces
salt to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley
3 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
freshly ground black pepper
pinch cayenne pepper
about 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
cooking spray
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with 6 cups cold, salted water. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large, non-stick skillet. Add the onion, pepper, garlic, tomatoes and cumin and cook over high heat until lightly browned and dry, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, parsley, chickpeas and potatoes and simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Coarsely puree the chickpea mixture in a food processor, adding the breadcrumbs as a thickener. (Run the machine in short bursts and don’t over-process.) Wet your hands and form the mixture into 8 patties. Arrange the patties on a plate spread with plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours.
Grill the burgers as described above, spraying the vegetable grate with cooking spray. Alternatively, arrange the burgers on an oiled, non-stick baking sheet, lightly spray the tops with oil and broil. To sauté, add a teaspoon or 2 of oil to a non-stick skillet. Cook the burgers over medium heat until crusty. Whichever method you use, you’ll need about 4 to 6 minutes per side cooking time. Turn the burgers with a spatula as gently as you can.
Serve the burgers on rolls with onions, tomatoes, lettuce and your favorite condiments.

What are some good vegetarian food brands?
Im aware Morningstar is a brand,
but what other brands should I look out for?
What other kinds of food are there, in vegetarian form?
I take it you are asking about "mock meats" and "meat substitutes" right?
You’ll find these at your local health food store:
Boca (soy based fake meats/chicken)
Quorn (mostly fake chicken made from fungi)
Gardein (things like buffalo wings and stuffed chicken breast)
Lightlife (tofu hot dogs/ and deli slices)
Health is Wealth (fake chicken patties and nuggets)
Sunshine Burgers (the best non-soy burgers out there!)
Nathans (meatballs)
Tofurky (everything from vegan pizza to ice cream, stuffed turkey and deli slices)
I’m going vegetarian and i want to know what food should i take for lunch tomorrow?
I go to a private school that offer microwaves and food but no vegetarian foods. i want to know what should i make that is tasty for lunch.
I just went vegetarian (sort of, I am trying to ease into it). I made a tofu stifry. I was so good. I just threw in carrots julliened, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, and tofu. I happen to have what is called spicy soy sauce. I don’t know for sure if this is the name, everything on the bottle is in korean. I bought it in a korean market and swore that I would ask my korean friend to translate and still haven’t gotten around to doing it. You can even eat it with a bit of rice. Tomorrow, I plan on making a soup consisting simply of bok choy, veggie broth, and maybe some other goodies. Any other ideas?
