1. Visit a farm or animal sanctuary - If you crave meat, visit some local cows or piglets. Really look at them and see how they interact with you. Fall in love with a furry friend, and you might not want to eat it.
1. 你可以去农场或者动物避难所转转。如果你超级想要吃肉，不妨去看看那些奶牛或者可爱的小猪们，试着和它们互动，做它们的朋友，也许你就不再那么超级得想要吃肉了。

2. Don’t expect everyone to embrace your new diet – I haven’t eaten meat in several years, but my family and most of my friends still do. Big change is scary and can be uncomfortable. Not everyone wants to “go there”.
2.别指望别人会拥护你的这一决定。就拿我来说，我的家人和朋友并不会因为我戒荤了好几年而去戒荤，毕竟不是人人都能够接受如此可怕的改变。

3. Read about CAFOs – Educate yourself about how meat is put on the table.
3. 阅读一些有关动物饲养场的文章，让你自己知道肉是怎样才被放到餐桌上的。

4. Watch the Earthlings movie or trailer if you can get through it – If shock and awe inspires you to make changes, watch this movie.
4.不妨看一下纪录片地球公民的电影或是预告，如果这部影片震撼了你并激励你去做出改变的话。

5. Have compassion - Extend the same kindness you have for animals, to yourself…especially if you slip.
5.具有同情心－给予自己和小动物们同样的仁慈之心。

6. Don’t be a junk food vegetarian – Just because potato chips are vegetarian doesn’t mean they should be a staple of your new diet.÷
6.不要成为一个垃圾食物的素食主义者 － 不要因为马铃薯片是蔬菜就把它当作你的主食。

7. Try new fruits and veggies – Add some new flair to your apples and bananas. Don’t overlook certain produce because you’ve never had it before.
7.尝试一些新品种的水果和蔬菜 － 在苹果和香蕉里再加点别的，不要因为你之前没有吃过就忽略它。

8. Choose wisely – Eat by color, not by calorie.
8.精明得挑选 － 以颜色来选取你的食物而不是卡路里。

9. Don’t over do it on the soy – There are so many substitutes for meat on the market, but start with fruits, veggies and whole grains. Veggie burgers, hot dogs and other soy based substitutes should supplement your diet, not be the foundation.
9. 不用老是只吃大豆 － 你可以在市场上找到很多肉的替代品，如水果，蔬菜和全谷物类食品。蔬菜汉堡，热狗还有其他豆子都可以作为你日常饮食的补充食品，但这些不是必须的。

10. Take a vegetarian cooking class – I am taking one next week and can’t wait to learn to cook something new and meet like minded veggie chefs.
10. 参加一些蔬菜的烹饪课程 － 我已经迫不及待的想着下周要跟着我的厨师师傅做些新的菜肴拉。

11. Don’t expect a veggie burger to taste just like a meat burger – “It tastes just like…” is a running joke in my house. Appreciate the new flavor and textures of your vegetarian diet and don’t constantly compare to meat.
11.你可别指望蔬菜汉堡尝起来像其他的汉堡那样美味 － “这尝起来就像....”这只是个玩笑。感谢素食给你带来的这一新的体验，切忌别老是拿它和肉来比。

12. Buy local produce – visit farms, and farmers markets or consider buying a farm share through CSA.
12.买些当地的农产品 － 去农场和农贸市场转转或者考虑从CSA购买一个农业类股票。

13. Buy organic produce – especially if it’s on this list.
13.买些有机农产品 － 尤其那些本文提及的。

14. Grow your own – plant a garden or just a few herbs and veggies if you don’t have the space or time for big garden.
14.试着自己种些 － 在小菜园里种些，如果你没有太多空间或时间的话也可以就种些草本植物或是蔬菜。
