Have you ever wanted to know the "hows," "whys," and "whats" of becoming a vegetarian? The San Francisco SPCA's "Vegetarianism Made Easy" materials will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about becoming a vegetarian or just incorporating more vegetarian food into your diet. Dump the steamed vegetable platter and learn the vegetarian/vegan art of substitution — eat 100% vegetarian "chicken" fried steak and mashed potatoes with gravy, pizza with "pepperoni," "beef" tacos, even pancakes with "bacon" and "sausage." Got a standard meat-and-potatoes person in your life that is afraid to try anything new? Turn the skeptic into a true believer. Serve up tasty "meat" lasagna or a "bacon," lettuce, and tomato sandwich — also 100% vegetarian. Becoming a vegetarian in today's society is easier than ever. A greater awareness of animal suffering and the health hazards associated with meat eating have resulted in the production of a great variety of delicious vegetarian foods, many of which imitate staples of the American diet. While some of these foods are available at grocery stores, the easiest place to locate them is at your local health or natural foods store.
