[quote=Anonymous]My H is in his mid-40s and has been vegetarian his whole life (cultural reasons). He agrees with PP, it's a lot easier now than 20-30 years ago...let's just say in college we spent A LOT of time at Taco Bell. He's never felt like he missed out on anything, he's just always gone with the flow. For example, he went a guys weekend to Austin TX and while everyone else got up early to wait in line at Franklin's Barbecue, he just slept in. :) Or if a work dinner is at a steakhouse, he just asks politely and they will always make him a pasta primavera.

Our son is vegetarian too and has had no issues. It was a little difficult to teach him what was veg and what wasn't when he was younger (before 5) but now, at 8, he understands. I'd say the most negative experience he's had in regards to being veg is at a birthday party, he was still hungry when they ran out of cheese pizza and only had pepperoni.

I'm not technically vegetarian but pretty much am considering my husband and son. One thing I am thankful for is that pretty much all restaurants put menus online, giving us a chance to see what options are before visiting. Being veg sometimes means planning meals/restaurants in advance, especially while traveling. Sometimes we find someplace not on our list to try, but we don't like being somewhere without knowing at least one place we can eat that has more than one vegetarian choice.[/quote]
