This is a very good blog that you have. It was very descriptive and i like how you talked about the proteins and such. The three day dietary plan was also very descriptive. Good job.

You guys have an incredibly neat page. Everything is in the right place and this blog really did educate me about being a vegetarian. Honestly, I think that maybe you should add a couple more pictures, just to make your blog "light up." You know? Make it more noticeable and not as plain.

This blog really taught me more about being a vegetarian, before i thought it was just about not eating meat. I think there should be bigger fonts and more colorful background so people like me stay interested and can read it.

I really like how you explained the vegetarian diet so thoroughly. It's good that you state that the best way to get protein is through nuts and beans. I also thought that the three day dietary plan was very descriptive and it was good that you stated which proteins and nutrients lack in a vegetarian diet.
