I started skimming this book and ended up reading right through it. It's entertaining and full of useful info. With a vegetarian teenage boy in the house, I wanted to make sure I had the whole "how to get enough protein" issue covered. I found plenty on that, and also on calcium and iron and other health issues. There are lots of recipes I want to try, especially for holiday meals, and there are good suggestions about eating out. I like what they say about how to handle the etiquette issues, like dealing with invitations to dinner parties, and how to avoid alienating friends and family. Over all, I think this is a really practical, helpful guide for parents of vegetarian kids-and also for anyone considering becoming a vegetarian!
Great for teens, too!

This book is full of simple facts on how to be a healthy vegetarian teen. It helped me understand how EASY it is to get all the protein and iron I need every day. I liked learning about all the famous athletes who are vegetarian. This book is also great because it's easy to read and important information is shown in simple charts and tables. After reading this book, I feel much more educated about my decision to give up meat.
