Along the way

As I research the different aspects of animal welfare and veganism I will post (on the side of my blog) the sites that I found to be interesting, useful, or just informational. That way you won't have to search for them in between blogs. My first addition is 10 Tips For Going Vegetarian that was created by Savvy Vegetarian (Which seems to be an interesting site for vegetarian information, but take or leave the site. In my opinion it's marginal with a lot of advertisement to navigate around ~but hey they have to pay for the site somehow~. I was mostly interested in the tips list included on the site.). The tips report seems to have a similar motivation behind it's information as my blog, when it comes to becoming a vegetarian. Including an extended definition of vegetarians (as I mentioned before, there aren't rules to how strict you are in your diet to claim a specific type of vegetarianism).

"Vegetarians eat no meat, poultry, or fish.
Ovo-lacto vegetarians eat eggs and milk.
Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products, but not eggs.
Vegans eat no animal products at all, often including honey."

Please note it is up to your own investigative discretion to trust any of the websites listed. I won't purposefully include a soliciting or outwardly motivated listing, but I'm not perfect. It's always a good idea to be skeptical of any printed or posted source. I suggest (as I do for any of the information I take away from these sources) that you leave room for bias's or selling techniques. Be smart. Don't just buy into any new idea that sounds good. Give someone the right incentive and they can make any crap sound good.

The following questions can help you decide whether the information on a website can be trusted. Or you can check these tips out for a more in depth look.
