I want to become vegetarian, what are the first steps I should take?

Also does anyone have some good recipes that don't involve meat?

Just turned vegetarian myself and still working on it.
Start with information like the previous answer said.
Here's a link to get you going:

Watch some poorly made, 1961, third world filmed, peta propaganda videos.

dont eat meat

I am a vegitarian for the past 2 1/2 years. First you need to stop eating certain types of meet then stop eating meet all together. For everyything you like that was made out of meet there are great supliments that taste great

First, determine why you want to do this. Second, study up on recipes, foods, etc. so you can educate yourself and eat properly. Some new vegetarians do not eat a healthy diet because they have not been properly educated.

Third, tell your friends. Not only can they give you support (even if they are not vegetarian), but they'll know not to tempt you with your old favorites.

Finally, stop eating meat. You'll probably want to increase your legume consumption. Beware making up for the abscence of meat with increased dairy intake, which is not healthful.

all recipes are good, just leave out meat, sea food, and fowl. But then why live. Thank God for sex, And sugar.
