My wife is a vegetarian. I tried it for 6 months. The most surprising thing from my experience is just how much food is already vegetarian. Meaning, it's not difficult to navigate a menu or to cook at home. In fact, most meals aside from the chunk of meat in the center of the plate are already vegetarian. The sides are almost always veggie based.

It's not too hard, but the trick is to still be healthy. There are a ton of unhealthy vegetarians because they are lazy about it. -Cheese pizza etc. Don't mistake vegetarian for healthy.

I don't know dude. I just had leftover cheese pizza that wasn't even refrigerated since yesterday and it was amazing. Don't knock it till you've tried it.

If I were to count the amount of times I've had leftover cheese pizza that sat in the box on the counter all night, you would be shocked at the number. At least twice a week growing up. Delicious? Yes. Healthy? No.

yeah, my roomie went vegetarian and I thought aw man it's gonna be harder for me to eat GOOD stuff

then he turned around and made awesome stir fry and shared it and now I'm a little bit more accepting that there is good food without parts of dead animals in it.

The majority of food is made without dead animal parts.
