Accentuate the Positive

Instead of focusing on what you’re giving up, think about all the exciting, new foods you’re discovering. Many vegetarians find a whole new world of flavors opens up to them once they do a little exploring. (Click here for some delicious recipes to try!)

Don't Throw in the Towel

For some, becoming vegetarian is a snap decision. For others, it’s a process with many steps along the way. Don’t get frustrated if you aren’t able to make the transition to vegetarianism overnight. Each compassionate decision you make sends a message to those around you as well as to animal agribusiness that you don’t condone animal abuse. Keep striving towards vegetarian eating . . . you are making a difference!

Work Those Brain Cells

The more informed we are about animal issues, the more effectively we can speak out for the voiceless.

There's Power in Numbers

Meeting other like-minded people can help affirm your decision to stop eating animals. Attending animal advocacy events, vegetarian society get-togethers, and joining email listservs about vegetarian issues can be a great way to meet other compassionate individuals.
