If you guessed theyre all vegetarians, youre right. And so are thousands of other celebrities actors and musicians, scientists and artists, athletes and inventors. And so are millions of ordinary people across North America and around the world.

In fact, vegetarianism is a growing worldwide trend. Just consider these facts:

  • Approximately 13 million North Americans are vegetarians, and a million more join their ranks every year.

  • Experts say kids in their teens are the fastest-growing group of vegetarians.

  • More than one million North American kids in the 6 to 17 age bracket have said no to meat.

  • Vegetarianism has gone mainstream. Compared to just a few years ago, there are more vegetarian restaurants, more meatless dishes on restaurant menus, and more vegetarian foods in grocery stores than ever before.

In the past, some people considered vegetarians to be weird cultists who ate nothing but seaweed and granola. Today, a diet that focuses on grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables is not just seen as normal, its considered desirable and healthy.

And it is healthy. In fact, the American Dietetic Association stated in 1997, It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.

Of course, eating isnt just about health. Its also about good taste and energy and fun. A vegetarian diet can supply all of those things, too. And talk about adventure adopting a meat-free diet can be the beginning of a delicious food tour around the globe.

Whether you are a lifelong vegetarian or vegan, or a brand-new one, this book is for you. In these pages, youll meet kids like 11-year-old Brianna, 13-year-old Tim, and 15-year-old Jesse. Youll find out why they went vegetarian and what they like about it. Youll discover how to win over your parents, how to make your school more veggie-friendly, and how to handle sticky situations such as Thanksgiving dinner, when Aunt Erma is begging you to try a turkey leg, for my sake and Uncle Fred is warning of your imminent demise if you dont smarten up and eat your meat! Youll learn nutrition basics to help you plan a vegetarian diet thats healthy for growing bodies. And youll find delicious recipes to get you started in the world of meatless cooking.

So, welcome to a different way of eating and of living. A way thats compassionate to animals, kind to the environment, healthy and tasty and fun. In the words of the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, a lifelong vegetarian who lived to be 94: Animals are my friends and I dont eat my friends.
