Vegan & Vegetarian FAQ
It is 2 am and you need a vegan donut - where do you
turn???
Most of us are never going to become vegetarian nutrition
experts, but it is likely that we will crave a donut. That's
where this guide to the daily aspects of being a vegetarian is
indispensable. Based on answers given to some of the 100,000
visitors to The Vegetarian Resource Group website (www.vrg.org)
every month, this guide addresses the many circumstances of
living as a vegetarian. This book is the culmination of the many
questions and frustrating lack of answers vegetarians routinely
encounter.
This guide will help non-vegetarians understand some of the
issues and ingredients that concern vegetarians. It is also a
wonderful starting place if you are a new vegetarian. And if you
are a vegetarian 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you need this
book! Vegan & Vegetarian FAQ will make being a
vegetarian even easier. You will find hundreds of answers on
everything from vegan marshmallows to food ingredients to veggie
kids to how to cook tofu. We’ve also included 35 popular
recipes, including fajitas, sloppy joes, and eggless banana
pancakes, as well as sources for thousands more!
