A new study just came out that says one in every 200 American kids is vegetarian. That's pretty high numbers. The study seems to think it's because there is more awareness about cruelty to animals than ever before with the internet, particularly you tube and other stuff like that.
It's important to note that if you do go veg, you have to make sure to get enough protein, iron and calcium from other sources because the fruit and veg won't do it alone (but goodness knows they are good for us.) For more info on being a healthy veg (even if you're just a Tuesday Veg - and you choose to be Vegetarian every Tuesday!) check out this site, or this one. Or even this one.
