A complete guide to the vegetarian lifestyle discusses the benefits of the vegetarian diet–from lacto–ovo to vegan–and offers helpful advice on meal planning, nutrition, and managing social events, traveling, and eating out. Before you arrived at the restaurant, your friends all ordered a large pizza – half pepperoni, half sausage.
