JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Vegetarian vitamins

As the weather turns colder and we come upon the start of cold and flu season (achoo!), I’ve been thinking about vitamins and building up my immune system. Vegetarians can tend to be healthier than meat eaters, and we can get a nice dose of vitamins from our food, but we’re not immune to the viruses and bacteria that can make winter so miserable. But unless a bottle of vitamins says on the package that it’s vegetarian, it’s hard to know if you’re ingesting some kind of animal product (though gelatin capsules are a tip-off!). Luckily, Whole Foods and A&S Natural Health carry some clearly-marked brands of vegetarian supplements.

I also found this nice guide to vegetarian options for some common supplements on the Vegetarian Times Web site.
