So You Want to Become a Vegetarian? is a good class for those students just considering changing their eating approach. When a person decides to become a vegetarian his/her entire life-style changes. The goal of the seven lessons found in the class is to help the new vegetarian understand what it is all about. The only requirement is wanting to know what being a vegetarian is all about. It's also a worthwhile class for parents who want to know more about it because their child has decided to stop eating meat.

No deadlines have been set for any of the lessons, assignments or tests because becoming a vegetarian is a very personal thing and requires a lot of thought. Students are encouraged to use the "forum" on a continuous basis to share experience, ask questions etc.
