Why vegetarian?

A known vegetarian, Dr. J.H. Kellogg (remember
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes?) once said, “When we eat vegetarian food, we
don’t have to worry about what kind of disease the food died of. This
makes a joyful meal!”
Good enough a reason! Today, more and
more people are finding vegetarian a diet full of benefit. It is more
than a dietary choice, it helps us maintain health, cultivate compassion
and sustain a livable environment.
Many people have the idea that animal protein is
superior to plant protein, but in reality some plant proteins are
complete and provide sufficient nutrition for the body. For example, the
World Health Organization recommends that 4.5% of daily calories be
derived from protein. Wheat has 17% of its calories as protein, broccoli
has 45% and rice has 8%. It is easy to have a protein rich diet without
eating meat. In March 1988, the American Dietetic Association announced
that, “It is the position of the ADA that vegetarian diets are healthful
and nutritionally adequate when appropriately planned.”
In Vegetarian House, we are delighted to
serve you food that is flavorful and healthful**. Take pleasure in our
