Going vegetarian isn't just the best way to help animals three times a day-it's also kinder to your waistline (and your heart!), better for the Earth, and downright delicious! Best of all, it's never been easier to make the switch to animal-friendly foods. Just about every restaurant now offers tempting vegetarian meals; grocery stores stock soy milk, soy ice cream, vegan chicken nuggets, veggie burgers, and more; and mouthwatering vegetarian cookbooks and recipes abound for everyone from the "microwave gourmet" to the passionate foodie.

We're here to help as you embark on this exciting culinary journey. From our luscious recipes, a list of our favorite products, and our recommended vegetarian cookbooks to our free "Vegetarian Starter Kit" and vegetarian shopping guide, PETA has all the information that you need to adopt a healthy and humane vegetarian diet. Happy eating!
