For our vegetarian blog our group decided to go vegetarian for a day to experience the challenges that they have to face.

For my first meal, breakfast, I had scrambled eggs with green onions, cooked onions, potato slices, and a glass of milk with organic nectarines, and fuji apples. I found that for breakfast it was not that hard to get a balanced meal that tasted good. I enjoyed the things I had and did not miss the meat products.

For lunch, I had a grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup, a glass of milk, and cherries. I enjoyed this meal but I would have liked to have some ham in my sandwich. I got my protein from dairy products in this meal.

For dinner, I ate two tofu burgers, a scoop of brown rice, a side of asparagus and corn, and a glass of milk. I would have liked to have something a little more substantial but overall it was a good meal.

Being a vegetarian for a day was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. I rather enjoyed most of the things that I ate and had a fun time doing it. The challenge for vegetarians is that they need a balanced food plan and they need to stick to it. By doing this I have learned a lot about vegetarians and can better connect and understand them than I could before.
