Vegetarian Advice: Going Vegetarian In Iraq
Question: Interested in going vegetarian - any suggestions for proper nutrients?
Judith, thanks for the free report, 10 Tips for Beginning Vegetarians. I think that they are helpful for a person like me, who is interested in becoming a vegetarian, but uncertain of how exactly to make the vegetarian transition.
My bigger problem right now is that I am in the Army and deployed to Iraq. I really don't have any access to outside food purchases, or cooking my own meals. Mostly, the meals here are of the meat and potato variety.
Do you have any suggestions for me, so that I can be certain I am getting the proper vitamins and nutrients that I need in a situation like this? Thank you for all your help. - A. in Iraq
Savvy Vegetarian Advice
Dear A.,
The only suggestion I can offer in your situation, is to take a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement, and eat all the grains and veggies on offer. I would think that tryng to be vegetarian under the circumstances would just add more stress to your life, and I'm sure you don't need that! Hopefully, you'll be able to organize that once you return to civilian life.
Best wishes! Judith Kingsbury, Savvy Vegetarian
