Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Stephanie Pierson, mother of two, has met the emotional and nutritional challenges of raising a teenager. In Vegetables Rock! she aims to help both teens and parents survive the process, ideally with sanity and everyone's good health intact. To do this, Pierson both uses and councils others to indulge liberally in tolerance and light-hearted humor.
To help the family understand the commitment to vegetarianism seriously, Pierson addresses its philosophical and ethical aspects as well as the nutritional ones. She explains that the origin of the word vegetarian has nothing to do with vegetables, but comes from the Latin verb that translates as "to enliven." Endorsing the choice to avoid eating meat as "positive and life-enhancing," she moves on to clearly and carefully outline what to eat and what to avoid.
Talking about nutrition, she cautions teens against living on pizza and junk food, and advises athletic kids to pay attention to their protein, iron, and zinc intake. A table listing specific foods makes it easier for everyone to know the best choices for protein, calcium, and other key nutrients.
There are strategies for dealing with miserable school lunches (eat pasta), and advice on questions to ask when eating out ("Is this vegetable soup made with chicken broth?"). Because teens can get emotional about their beliefs, Pierson suggests they be activists in letter writing and supporting vegetarian causes, but try to remember in conversations that their diet is a choice, not a crusade.
One chapter of Vegetables Rock! talks about specific foods and how to prepare them, from asparagus to dried beans, grains, and sea vegetables. The 60 recipes come mostly from chefs, cookbook writers, and magazines. Identifying which are vegan, Pierson covers everything from what some consider the best the guacamole in New York City--from the restaurant Rosa Mexicana--to Creamy Peanut Butter and Banana Pudding, a dairy-free indulgence from Ken Haedrich's Feeding the Healthy Vegetarian Family. Everything is easy enough for teens to prepare in a college dorm mini-kitchen.
Assessing why at least 11 percent of American teen girls are vegetarian, Pierson concludes, "It's healthy ... cool ... and has the potential to drive your parents nuts. Three times a day." --Dana Jacobi
From Library Journal
An advertising copywriter whose teenage daughter is a vegetarian, Pierson wrote this helpful primer for young vegetarians when she was unable to find a book that answered her family's questions about the vegetarian diet. The book provides detailed, easy-to-understand information about nutrition and advice on such matters as how to answer questions from meat eaters and how to survive the school cafeteria. What sets this guide apart from Judy Krizmanic's A Teen's Guide to Going Vegetarian (Viking, 1994) are the appealing recipes. Pierson has collected 73 simple but tempting dishes from leading chefs and restaurants, including wood-grilled vegetable sandwich on foccacia, Asian corn fritters, mashed potatoes with garlic and rosemary, and chocolate devastation cake. For readers who want more information, Pierson includes lists of cookbooks, restaurants, sources of nutrition information, mail-order sources, organizations, and web sites.

My vegetarian daughter finds in the text a wealth of informative nutrition facts, including the helpful vegetarian food pyramid.
But we have tried several of the recipes and haven't found a winner yet!
Better recipes (that teens REALLY love) are found in Deborah Madison's many vegetarian cookbooks.

teenage vegans and vegetarians aren't stupid people. if i had read this befor i had gone vegan, i probably wouldn't have... there are so many other great books out there with better information. try anne marie colbin's "food and healing."
Format:Taschenbuch
this is a book full of basic superficial vegetarian information. there are a lot of other books out there that are filled with more information.i'd suggest looking for other books instead of reading this one. the one thing that bugged me most were all the negative points of view on being vegetarian. every couple of pages you'll run into a section by a non/anti-vegetarian talking about their opposition to vegetarians.for instance, there is a page devoted to a person who hates tofu. who wants to hear this? why are these negative voices in a book on vegetarianism? don't we already hear the backlash without having to read it? this is the part that bugged me and i didn't understand why it was even included. its very unsupportive and inappropriate in a book that promotes vegetarian eating! i hope future editions exclude these negative sections.
