and Basil F or generations, the mealtime mantra of mothers across America has been Eat your vegetables!Well, as usual, mother is right. So too are the health professionals who, for decades, have advocated a healthy diet of less meat and more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lowfat or fat-free dairy products to help us live longer and better. Americans have finally gotten the message.

Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today have changed their eating habits to include more produce and grains and fewer animal products. While you may not consider yourself a vegetarian, you probably do, in fact, eat a few meatless meals each week. Pancakes for brunch, yogurt and fruit for breakfast, an after-movie pizza with mushrooms and peppers, a quick lunch of vegetable-and-bean burritos, comforting mac-and-cheese casserole or take-out vegetable lo mein for dinner are all satisfying and nutritious fare, yet free of meat, fish, or poultry. TYPES OF VEGETARIANS Vegetarians choose to eliminate animal products from their diets for any number of reasonsethical, environmental, economic, or religious. But according to a recent Gallup Poll, the majority of people who choose to go meatless do so for health reasons.

Vegetarians usually fall into one of these groups: The vegan, or total vegetarian, diet includes only foods from plant sources: fruits, vegetables, legumes (dried beans and peas), whole grains, seeds, and nuts. The lactovegetarian diet includes plant foods plus cheese and other dairy products. The ovo-lactovegetarian diet is the same as the lactovegetarian, but also includes eggs. The semivegetarian diet, which is frequently favored by those who are just easing into a vegetarian lifestyle or who want to add more meatless meals to their diet, does not include red meat but does include chicken and fish along with plant foods, dairy products, and eggs.
