I guess you think vegetarian food taste bad? American people think that vegetarians are some kind of super freak that does not eat meat and force down the food.
Let me tell you I been vegetarian for 2 years and it was not that bad. The only problem I had was to find different dishes because back then there was not enough vegetarian to make it main stream.
Vegetarians now have shops packed with different vegetarian foods and dishes and plenty of information on the internet.
Now when the economy is so bad it is a excellent time to try to some cheap healthy vegetarian dishes.
When I want to have the latest vegetarian news I always head over to my favorite blog about vegetarian food the veggie blog.
