Vegans are vegetarians who abstain from eating or using all animal products, including milk, cheese, other dairy items, eggs, wool, silk, and leather. Among the many reasons for being a vegetarian are health, ecological, and religious concerns, dislike of meat, compassion for animals, belief in non-violence, and economics. The American Dietetic Association has affirmed that a vegetarian diet can meet all known nutrient needs. The key to a healthy vegetarian diet, as with any other diet, is to eat a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Limit your intake of sweets and fatty foods. Many people become vegetarian instantly. They totally give up meat, fish and poultry overnight. Others make the change gradually.

Extractions: VegSource Vegetarianism: A Few Facts What's a Vegetarian? Vegetarian is a blanket term for a variety of diets that exclude meat, poultry, and fish. The most healthful, the pure vegetarian (or "vegan") diet, only includes foods of plant origin, such as nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes. A "lacto-vegetarian" includes these plant foods and also dairy products. A "lacto-ovo-vegetarian" consumes both dairy and eggs. Is Veg Healthier?

Extractions: I had postponed writing this topic because there is so much information and controversy about nutrition. There are many different kinds of diets and depending on who you speak to, one is better than the other. However, it must be recognized that one of the most important aspect of healing when you have CFIDS, FMS, and Lyme disease is through nutrition. Eating properly can serve as the gateway to feeling better more often as opposed to feeling horrible all the time. People with chronic illnesses should consider enhancing their diets with "healing" foods, eliminating "bad" foods, and begin a regiment which includes vitamins and nutritional supplements. It is best to work with a nutritionist, dietitian, or holistic practitioner who is knowledgeable about your condition. The diet I followed was a strict elimination diet. This was mainly for two reasons 1.)I had developed food sensitivities which is common amongst people with CFIDS, FMS, and Lyme disease, and 2.)minimizing my diet would give my body less to process, therefore; leaving maximum time to work on healing.

There are several different variations of the vegetarian diet. Strict vegetarians, called vegans , eat no animal products at all. The staples of their diets are fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans and peas), grains, seeds, and nuts. Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products in addition to plant foods. Lacto-ovo vegetarians include dairy products and eggs as well as plant foods in their diets. People who eat animal flesh (meat, fish, chicken) are not considered to be vegetarians. However, as the health benefits of a vegetarian diet become more widely known, many people reduce or eliminate animal products. For example, they may eat fish and chicken but no red meat, or they may eat meat in small portions only a few times a week. These people can most accurately be described as following a semi-vegetarian diet.

Extractions: It is commonly believed that children eating as a lacto-ovo or lacto vegetarian should have no problems with nutritional adequacy. However, vegan children need to have their food intake planned carefully to include enough of certain nutrients such as energy, calcium, protein, vitamin B12, iron, vitamin D, and riboflavin. Advice can be given by your doctor or a dietitian. Infants up to six months are well-nourished with breast milk or formula (either cows' milk-based or soy-based depending on vegetarian classification). It is important to note that a vegan mother who is breastfeeding is advised to take a supplement of vitamin B12, a vitamin only found in animal products.

Extractions: Nouveau Gourmands As an increasing number of Ottawans end their romance with meat and other animal products, the local restaurant and supermarket scene has adapted to cater to this generation of nouveau gourmands. While vegetarianism has been an alternative lifestyle choice ever since humans discovered how to cultivate crops, it has only enjoyed real widespread popularity in the West since the 1960's with the advent of the hippie movement in North America. Everyone has their own reason for going vegetarian, ranging from religious beliefs to a commitment to animal rights. Some vegetarians or vegans give up all animal-based food products entirely including milk and eggs. If a culinary style excluding meat - and in some cases eggs and dairy products - sounds kind of bland, you obviously haven't discovered Ottawa's wealth of fantastic vegetarian eateries and health food stores! Catering to the growing numbers of health conscious consumers who are increasingly concerned about their diets, vegetarian restaurants and food stores are becoming all the rage. And remember, there's much more to vegetarian cuisine than tofu! Where to Eat Vegetarian in Ottawa.

Extractions: Timely Topics in Food, Diet and Health Current Archived Resources on Vegetarianism A recent cover of Time magazine poses the question, Should You Be a Vegetarian? The inside article discusses the wide variety of reasons people choose to be vegetarians and the risks and benefits of a meat-free life. The article reports the results of an on-line Time/CNN poll of 10,007 adults, of which 4% considered themselves to be vegetarians. About one third of them said "health" was the most important reason for becoming a vegetarian, while others identified concern over chemicals in meat (15%), not liking the taste of meat (13%), love of animals (11%), animal rights (10%) and religion (6%) as their most important reasons. As the American Dietetic Association notes, "appropriate planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases." But not everyone knows how to "appropriately plan" a vegetarian diet or even what a vegetarian diet is. The article in Time notes that in a survey of 11,000 people, of those who said they were vegetarians, 37% said they had eaten red meat in the previous 24 hours. Do people think simply eating vegetables (next to your steak) makes you a vegetarian?

Extractions: Lacto-ovo-vegetarians eat milk, milk products and eggs but do not eat meat, fish, poultry or seafood. Lacto-vegetarians eat milk and milk products but exclude eggs, meat, fish poultry, fish or seafood. Semi-Vegetarians usually exclude meat, but occasionally include poultry, fish or seafood. Vegans (or strict vegetarians) do not eat any foods that come from animal sources. During pregnancy, most vegetarians can meet their nutrition needs if they include milk products, eggs and a variety of vegetables, fruits, legumes (dried peas, beans and lentils) and whole grains in their diet. A strict vegetarian diet is not adequate for pregnancy. Supplements of iron, vitamin D, calcium and vitamin D12 are usually required. There are differences between the protein that comes from animals and the protein that comes from plants. Plant proteins are incomplete. This means they do not contain all the building blocks or essential amino acids contained in animal proteins. Combining a plant protein with a small amount of animal protein or another plant protein can make a complete protein. Following are some examples of possible food combinations.

Extractions: Rise Among School Children January 8, 2001 - More kids are "vegging" out, and school foodservice is stepping in. A recent article in Time magazine reported that students ages eight to twelve are opting for vegetarianism at twice the rate of adults. This small but rapidly expanding movement is making an impact on school foodservice. The article, published in the Oct. 16, 2000 issue of Time, quotes Donna Wittrock, ASFSA member and executive director of food and nutrition services for the Denver public schools. Wittrock reports that due to the demand elementary schools are offering vegetarian dishes for the first time this year. She also states that its not more vegetables that the students want just NO meat. Since children are not nutritionists, this new generation of "veg-heads " will need extra guidance and appropriate nutrition education to ensure they are getting adequate nutrition.

Extractions: Is all the hype surrounding vegetarianism's health benefits merited? A substantial amount of research suggests it is. Yet, the strength of findings varies: evidence demonstrating lower mortality rates and reduction of chronic diseases such as constipation, obesity and lung cancer is "strong", while data indicating a reduced risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, adult-onset diabetes and gallstones are considered "good". Evidence linking vegetarianism and reduced risks of breast and colon cancers, diverticular disease, osteoporosis or kidney stones continues to be regarded as merely "fair to poor". Vegetarians tend to be more active, maintain a healthy weight and abstain from smoking, using illegal drugs and drinking alcohol. All these factors have known health benefits. Most health benefits associated with vegetarianism have not been linked to any single dietary or lifestyle factor, although some are most certainly diet-related.

Extractions: (Ottawa) - If the word "vegetarian" makes you think of tofu, carrots and bean sprouts, think again. According to the Ottawa-based National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), self-proclaimed "vegetarians" now encompass a variety of eating patterns, ranging from strict plant eaters to meat nibblers. The changing meaning of the term as well as potential health benefits and risks associated with the lifestyle are the focus of the Institute's latest edition of RAPPORT, a quarterly newsletter. Surveys indicate that very few self-designated vegetarians are strict plant eaters. Among the 1956 participants to NIN's 1997 Tracking Nutrition Trends (TNT) survey, for instance, the proportion describing themselves as vegetarian was 4%. Of this group, 90% claimed to drink milk and over 70% reported eating eggs, fish or seafood. More surprising still are the 20% who claimed to eat red meat! So what gives? According to NIN's President, Suzanne Hendricks, it's all about choices: "Health conscious Canadians are choosing more meatless meals, because they perceive them as yet another nutritious option to add to their mixed diets. This can be great if it leads to greater consumption of meat alternatives, such as legumes. Some trendy vegetarians, however, may fail to put the right emphasis on a proper balance of plant foods and dairy products."

http://www.nutractive.com/faq_vegetarianism.htm

Extractions: SUBMITTED BY: Ms. Charu Sethi of New Delhi, India A: As a total vegan, there are some nutrition concerns for which you need to be aware. First, vitamin B12 is only contained in animal products. If you do not consume any animal products, including cheese, dairy products, or eggs, you need to find a good supplement. You should also be concerned with your iron intake. The most available form of iron is from meat. While vegetables contain iron, a lot of it is bound up. You can help your body better absorb the iron from plant foods by eating a vitamin C source with it. Foods other than meat that are high in iron include molasses (especially blackstrap), dried beans, dried prunes and prune juice, iron-fortified cereals (which I am not sure if India fortifies the food supply), whole-wheat bread, broccoli, and dark green vegetables such as kale or spinach. Foods rich in vitamin C that should been eaten at the same meal as those just listed as high in iron include fresh fruits, especially citrus fruits, melons, kiwis, strawberries, and vegetables such as broccoli, sweet green and red peppers, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage.
