Want to test out becoming a vegetarian?

Question

I want to test the waters on becoming a vegetarian but I'm not sure where to start, does anyone have a website that I could go to to get foods I"m suppose to eat? or even a shopping list?

Answer 1

~You need to try to surround yourself with vegetarian and vegan friends so they can help you with your transition and answer all your questions first hand

~Go shop at health food places and farmers markets and ask the people working there your questions they tend to be knowledgeable about the products

~Get advice from your doctor or a professional in like a dietitian or a nutritionist

Answer 3

Go to a vegetarian restaurant or one that has vegetarian dishes (usually Asian restaurants, especially Indian).  Find one with a lunch buffet if you can.  This way, you can take one spoonful (teaspoon not serving spoon) of each to try.  Write down the ones you like and ask what they are called if it doesn't already say on the buffet.
