Savvy Veg Advice is dished out by Judith Kingsbury - a long time vegetarian who's experienced most of the veggie situations you can imagine, and many that you wouldn't believe!

When Do You Need Savvy Vegetarian Advice?

Conflicts: Your vegetarian lifestyle conflicts with friends, relatives, co-workers, or room-mates. You don't know any other vegetarians, and nobody understands what you're doing.

Doubts: You don't know what kind of vegetarian to be, or if you should be vegetarian, or just semi-veg, or you were vegetarian once and want to get back to it.

Expense: Organic & non-gmo foods are hard to find and expensive, and there's no money left for treats. You feel like you have to buy all new food and cooking utensils.

Health: Will a vegetarian diet work with your fitness regime, your allergies, your diabetes or heart problems?

Weight Loss or Weight Gain: You look in the mirror, and wonder if a vegetarian diet will help you to reach your ideal weight.

Nutrition: You want a healthy vegetarian diet, and you're worried about nutrition - protein, Vitamin B12, iron, fat, carbs, etc.

No Time: You don't have time to find information about your vegetarian diet and lifestyle, sort truth from fiction, shop, cook, and still have a life.

Veg By Association: Someone you know is vegetarian, and you wonder what to feed them, or if they're ruining their health (or yours!) with their strange vegetarian diet.
