Top 10 simple vegetarian dishes

"Numerous types of specialized diets are followed, however, one of the most prevalent is vegetarianism. Not only is it very flexible to each individual’s interpretation, this way of eating can be healthy, fresh and delicious.

All around the globe, many people avoid animal products to different extents. Certain cultures and countries, such as India, have more vegetarians. However, even in American where meat is very common, 3.2 percent of people, or around 7.3 million, were vegetarian in 2008, according to Vegetarian Times.
Being a vegetarian can look different for each person. Vegetarian Nation lists seven main eating styles. Vegans eat no animal products including dairy and eggs while lacto vegetarians do eat milk products. Ovo vegetarians will have eggs but no dairy, but the most popular type of vegetarian is the Lacto-ovo vegetarian who just eliminate meat and fish. The list goes on to include those who eat fish or all meat except red meat. Then there are people who fall between a few of the categories. In general, all can choose to be a vegetarian and do it in the manner they prefer.
Reasons also greatly differ between vegetarians. Some stop eating meat as a way of showing care for animals. Others feel better physically on a plant-based diet. Another motivation might be that someone simply dislikes meat. Once again, there are few clear answers and many variations.
The vegetarian way of eating is so popular and healthy that the second week of September is National Vegetarian Awareness Week, according to BRG Health Solutions. Whether you were raised vegetarian or want to try it for a day, this is a list of simple but delicious dishes without meat that can be enjoyed this September.
