organizations offer free health, nutrition and fitness information to

parents and kids. Here's a great website that everyone in the family

can enjoy!

site, from the American Dietetic Association, should be one of your

main sources of information. Plenty of research shows that well-

planned vegetarian diets can reduce the risk of many lifestyle

diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and more. Many

individuals can reduce these risks by simply replacing a few meat-

based meals per week with plant-based ones.

want to eat meat or animal products. Rather than forcing your child

to eat meat because you don't understand vegetarianism, this site

will help you support your child's decisions and ensure he's staying

healthy and meeting his nutritional needs. You can purchase articles

written by registered dietitians on various topics, such as

transitioning to a vegetarian lifestyle, vegan nutrition, and

vegetarian children. One section of the site offers links to several

other recommended sites about vegetarianism.
