When it comes to vegetarianism, the number one question on most meat-eaters' minds is, "What do you eat?" The answer: Anything we want! There are vegetarian alternatives to almost any animal food, from soy sausages and "Fib Ribs" to Tofurky jerky and mock lobster. Vegetarian-friendly menus are sprouting up everywhere—even Burger King offers veggie burgers—and more and more eateries are focusing exclusively on vegetarian and vegan foods. There are fantastic alternatives to every dairy product you can imagine, including Soy Delicious ice cream, Silk chocolate soy milk, Tofutti cream cheese, and more.
Going vegetarian has never been easier, and we're here to help! From our fantastic recipes and list of favorite products and favorite vegetarian cookbooks to our free vegetarian starter kit and online shopping guide, PETA has all the information you need to adopt a healthy and humane vegetarian diet!
This website is good, but is not for those with weak stomaches. It has some good resturants, if you are looking for meat-free places to eat. It is geared toward those that agree with PETA.
After watching a PETA video in May, I decided to become a vegetarian. My family had always had lots of pets, from dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, chickens, ducks, geese, goats, sheep, etc. It always made me sad to think that my dinner once was alive! So this video finally changed my mind. It was really hard at first because as a college student I found it was much easier to eat out. GoVeg.com helped me find a lot of items at restuarants and even drive-through that was vegetarian and even vegan. It also gave me some delicious recipes to get me started, and I've been cooking for myself a lot more! There are great stickers, clothing, etc. to get the word out as well! Go Vegetarians!
I have been a member on and off with PETA for years. When I was 16, I first heard of PETA and vegetarianism/animal rights. As an adult, I have been a vegetarian for over 8 years now. I credit this website with helping me to "find myself" and turn my passions into actions. This site is great. It has links to information about becoming vegetarian/vegan, information on why you should consider this diet option, videos, articles, recipes, and even offers a free starter kit that they will mail to you to help you on your way to your new veggie lifestyle. Even if you are not a vegetarian or are not wanting to give up meat entirely, its a great resource for anyone who is wanting to learn more about animal rights/welfare and vegetarian living. I would recommend this site to anyone teenage and up. I would not recommend it to children, as there are some disturbing images of animal treatment that some parents may not want their young children to see. Great site! I even have a bumper sticker from them!
I've probably used this website at least a dozen times and referred people to it even more. So many people are starting to become concerned about the ethics of what they put on their plates and in their bodies, and this website has a great deal of helpful information.
GoVeg covers just about everything; the realities of confinement and slaughter of animals, health problems caused by animal based diets, and how to figure out what and how to "go veg" in a world that is still primarily omnivorous.
Yes, PETA runs this site. I know PETA has its detractors, but I'd tell anyone to visit this site and make their own decisions.
Oh, what to say about goveg.com? It's a mixed bag. Sponsered by PETA, the site aims to give individuals information geared toward (presumably) moving them to a vegetarian or (hopefully) vegan lifestyle. Which is all good, of course, but like anything PETA does, there is a lot of sensationalism when fact would be more than sufficient. Links to 'Meet Your Meat' and 'Kentucky Fried Cruelty: The Movie' may be enough to turn your stomach, but an emotional reaction is not necessarily the best informed one.
Still, GoVeg.com does manage to provide a lot of good information despite all of that. A relatively toned down text version of what happens to various animals in factory farm situations is provided, as well as links to recipes to help people get started in their path to eating cruelty-free. Particularly enjoyable is their 'I Can't Believe It's Vegan' page. Oreos? A-Okay.
So if you’re looking for information and can look past the bits that are a little over-the-top, GoVeg might be the site for you.
