<p>My D (now 24) has been a non-dogmatic vegetarian for quite some time (age 12). Non-dogmatic is what she calls it; she means that if no other choice is available and it would be otherwise disruptive, she will eat meat without mentioning her vegetarianism. (In practical application, that means she doesn’t mind if the soup is made from chicken stock.)</p>
<p>Her reasons for becoming a vegetarian (money and the impact of beef on the environment) made so much sense to me that I cook non-meat meals several times a week. </p>
<p>My favorite vegetarian lunch is peanut butter on whole wheat toast with sliced apples and a glass of milk.</p>
