i Teens turn to vegie diet IF YOU look in the window of any fast-food restaurant in town, you'd think most teenagers Jive on junk-food alone. But a growing number of teens are becoming more concerned ‘about what they eal, many even becoming Vegetarians, ; It’s a trend which caught the atten- tion of children’s librarian Holly Nguyen. oe “Vd fielded a number of reference questions from teens and parents who wanted to change. their diets but weren’t sure what fo do,’’ | said Nguyen, Since she wanled to offer more pro- grams for teens, she put together a one-day . workshop for teens and parents, with the help of community nutritionist Julie Ip. Response was very good, with 20 people attending the workshop and at least 12 more waitlisted. So Nguyen and [p decided to offer a second work- shop for teens and parents, running tomorrow at the library. “Health was the main reason many of the teens gave for wanting to be- come a. vegetarian,” said Ip. A vegetarian dict is generally lower in fat, so teens concerned about weight control also benefit. “Several girls also said they coulda’t stand the thought of caling meat,”*-saidIp, — - . Other issues forteens were a distrust af possible growth hormones in meat, and. philosophical’ reasons for not eating meat. The teens and parents who attended the first workshop were interested in how they could maintain a healthy dict, without eating meat Many young tcens in particular,- are. still going through growth spurts, and need certain amounts of ~calcium and protein to remain healthy. - “*You can still eat'a- well-balanced diet from all four food groups without eating meat,’’ said Ip, Some non-meat sources she described were dairy pro- ducts, eggs, nuts and seeds, dried peas and beans and leniils. For those interested in healthy recipes and food combinations, Ip recommended the hook.Teens Guide to Going Vegetarian, by. Judy Kriz- manic. It’s available at the Terrace Public Library.
