Dear vegtalk I found your message board to be very helpful and informative. It seems that you have great community were you can openly discuss and share ideas. I am currently a first year and college, working towards my nursing degree. Currently I am taking a nutrition course. I am asking for your help in completing one of my class assignments. For this class I need to interview a vegetarian. If you would be willing to answer these questions I would be very grateful.
Here are the questions, please answer them and best and as honestly as you can.
why did you decide to become a vegetarian?
what type of vegetarian diet do you follow? ( vegan, lacto vegetarian, etc.)
Do you feel your current diet is nutritionally balanced? Why or why not? What do you do to make your nutritional intake balanced?
What are your main concerns with menu planning?
do you need to take a nutritional supplement? Why or why not? If yes, what vitamins/ minerals does it contain?
What are the advantages, as you see it, to being a vegetarian?
what are some of the disadvantages to following a vegetarian diet?
any other comments you want to add?
Pleas also state what you ate in the last 24 hour period
your age?
sex (male /Female)?
physical activity for the past 24 hours?
as always if you would feel more comfortable just PM me your responses
Thank you so much for your help!
