Feed Your Vegetarian Teen - Donna P Feldman MS Rdn

Raising teenagers is already stressful. The stress can spiral out of control if your teenager announces "I'm giving up meat." The parents' first reaction is likely to be worry. Teens are growing, and nutrition is important. Will a meatless diet be healthy? Another worry: cooking. Does a vegetarian or vegan diet mean cooking 2 separate meals for dinner? Finally there the impact on the family. Does everyone else have to give up meat? "Feed Your Vegetarian Teen" to the rescue! Parents will find information on teen nutrition, including key considerations for meatless diets. The recipes are designed to work for everyone, using high protein foods -- both meat and non-meat -- as condiments. Easy cooking techniques and common ingredients make dinner preparation simple. Everyone can enjoy the same meal, adding their own preferred protein foods. Eating less meat is the wave of the future, but that doesn't have to mean giving up meat entirely. "Feed Your Vegetarian Teen" can help families transition to a healthier plant-based diet that's less focused on meat, while catering to family members who don't eat meat at all.
