I'm considering going veggie, not for health reasons, but for moral reasons. What are some good tips/recipes/things to know? PS I am slightly overweight, and currently eat chicken, pork, and fish. I'm worried about being unhealthy.

There are many healthy vegetarian ways of eating and tons of websites on them. The one specific tip I'd remember is on protein. The good news -- you can get all the different amino acids (protein building blocks) you need from non-animal sources. The bad news -- no single non-animal source has all the amino acids. So try to eat a wonderful variety of grains, nuts, and beans every day and you will likely be healthier than ever.

I've been a vegetarian for 12 years. I love the recipes on this website: http://vegbox-recipes.co.uk/ But, the key thing I find which helps a lot, is using vegetarian replacements for meat. For example, you can buy vegetarian sausages, hotdogs, burgers, kievs, bacon, mince etc... all made from soya. Thus, it's relatively easy to continue to eat similar meals to those you may have eaten before, such as spaghetti bolognese. The great thing about soya is that it's rich in protein and low in fat. You might also want to check out TVP (textured vegetable protein) -- that has a meaty texture and is very versatile and healthy. I have difficulty finding TVP in the US, so if you can't find it in stores check out Amazon.
