Nowadays, vegetarian food is extremely varied and exciting. Wherever you take children, whether it's a cafe, restaurant or even a fast-food chain, you will always find something to suit a vegetarian diet.
I can clearly remember when, at the age of 14, I decided to become a vegetarian. In those days there wasn't the choice or range of vegetarian products such as Quorn or tofu that are readily available now. You had to look around much more and prepare everything from scratch. Not surprisingly, my mother was not in favour of my decision, though her objections only added to my determination to remain a vegetarian. She often told me that she had to put in extra work and time to make sure I had a well-balanced, nutritious diet. She was right, of course, and I was lucky to have someone who took the time and trouble to look after my needs so well.
