How to become a vegetarian? part 1

How to become a vegetarian? Well, this isn't an easy journey to become a vegetarian or a vegan. For beginning, i should lay out the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian.
A vegan is a person who doesn't eat any animal products, be that meat, milk, eggs, cheese, honey any other dairy product.
A vegetarian is a person who doesn't eat any meat or fish. They do eat eggs and milk and honey though because no animals were killed in the progress.
First, i should put out that you should become a vegetarian before you become a vegan because it's super easy to get bogged down and totally quit the diet. Veganism is getting more popular in restaurants and you can find vegan restaurants all around cities. Even the small city that i live in has 4 vegan restaurants. It's pretty cool. There are so many resources for people starting a vegan/vegetarian diet. There are fake cheeses (almond and soy), cream cheese, sour cream, and tons and tons of milks. It's so easy to find something at your local whole foods/trader joes and even walmart.
There are also a lot of fake meats. Tofurkey, Loma Linda, Yves, Morning Star, and so many other tofu products that are like turkey, baloney, and other meats. Loma linda and ceder lakes have a very nice collection of fake meats.

Here's a list of products
Silk Yogurt
Silk Milk
Tofutti Sour Cream
Tofutti Cheese
Tofutti
Energ Egg Replacer

I'll write mor elater when i have time. Kind of short on it at the moment. Thankfully, i can put this post into parts.
