Hello,

I am a recent convert to vegetarianism, and was a bit dismayed to
find out that this newsgroup isn't exactly high traffic.  Therefore,
I thought I'd post myself.  I have some questions, which I hope
somebody will reply to, either in this forum or by e-mail.

1. I have heard that there are different types of vegetarians,
including lacto-vegetarians and vegans.  What is the difference?

2. What are some of the essential vitamins and minerals in meat
which must be supplemented in other ways in the vegetarian's diet?

3. I have decided to continue to eat fish and seafood as well as
chicken very occasionally.  Is this common, or do most vegetarians
shun all food that came from a living creature?

4. Have you encountered any hostility due to your decision to
become a vegetarian?

5. What are some foods which may have "hidden" animal content
(i.e. beef broth in some soups, foods which use animal fat)?

6. What are the best vegetarian cookbooks?

I hope to hear from you soon!!
