    Lack of vegetarian or healthy cooking television shows

    It's a shame because a lot of people either learn to cook or get interested in learning to cook on shows like this. it's obvious that they're just responding to market forces. Most people aren't vegetarians so most shows are going to cater to that. Some people, as dumb as this sounds, are pretty...

    Is it best to start slowly?

    It completely depends on the individual. Some people need to be eased into the lifestyle. Slowly ramping down the amount of meat you're consuming is very helpful to a lot of people.

    Your defining moment in deciding to become vegetarian?

    When I went to college, I lived in a dorm with an absolutely terrible cafeteria. The same company that supplied the food for our dorms also serviced the state prisons. For whatever reason, they used some kind of preservative that made me violently ill anytime I ate food off the buffet line. The...

    Do you have cravings?

    Cravings is a weird subject because some people get them and others don't. When I stopped eating meat, I didn't have any cravings after the first week. I used to love certain meat dishes but I found becoming vegetarian was way easier than I thought it would be. On the other hand, I used to date...
