I searched the TSR community page for a vegetarian society to see if there was one, and great, looks like there is. I became a vegetarian (lacto-ovo at the moment) at New Years and I'm very glad I made the transition. Applied to join the society.
I am strongly considering going Vegan. I am already quite the fussy eater (especially with meat and fish), so I think going Vegan would prevent that, since I'm not always keen on meat and fish.
Let's hope I can find the right substitutes for vegan food. I did go vegetarian once, but that wasn't for very long (bare in mind, I was 8 ). The only meat I consume is spaghetti meat because (no joke) it's the only meal that everyone in the house will eat, so I feel awkward disappointing them and it would make me look like an even more fussy eater. Maybe one day, when I've got my own place, I can properly start being Vegan. But, I also have difficulty with clothing and what to wear (if only they made music t-shirts that were vegan-friendly, if that is the word).
Maybe soon I will try it out (I have been thinking about going Vegan for the past 6 months, but...EXAMS (well GCSE, so it's not as worrying as, say, A levels)
I think I will stay semi-veggie until I've left my house (possibly when I go to uni) I would definitely try being vegetarian (don't have mince meat in spaghetti so difficult).
I've been a vegan for a good few months now, if anyone is considering it it is REALLY SIMPLE , just don't buy any meat and eat tons of veg and whole grains pretty much lmao,
just wondering if I can join this soceity as i don't really know many vegans IRL and i'd love to get to know some =)
I have been vegetarian my whole life and am strongly considering becoming a vegan, how hard is it to make the transition and what foods did everyone miss the most to begin with? I think i'm going to really miss buttery toast...soya spreads just aren't the same
As a vegetarian, and someone who doesn't really eat a lot of dairy products if I can help it... should I be taking any supplement?
I take a multivitamin myself since I reckon it covers the blindspots in my diet that I don't know about. They're fairly cheap really, a small bottle of A-Z vitamin tablets from any supermarket.
Dairy can be good for getting proteins from in the absence of meat, though you can also get it from other sources like nuts, etc, or meat substitutes like Quorn.

Miser answered really well thought I'd add I also take multi vitamins. Used to just take cheap ones with iron that I got in savers, but have switched to Berocca cause I heard it's great for your immune system. One thing to watch out for is make sure any supplements you do take are veggie friendly... some of the tablets use gelatin and other stuff, even the non chewy ones.
