How to be a vegetarian? (And also, why to be one?)

[robvalue]

That's very true, about taste retraining. I now love all my replacement foods, including soya/oat/rice milk. It's just how my food tastes. All these replacements have got hugely better recently, in case anyone tried them a while back and thought they were horrible. Some of them indeed were very nasty. But now there is a wide range and you'd have to be a really fussy, stubborn bastard not to find something you like.

Of course, some people decide beforehand that anything that isn't meat will be disgusting (I've met quite a few).
