red meat but will eat fish — and perhaps even poultry — to those who avoid all animal products including eggs milk and cheese to vegans who not only shun animal products as food but also in clothing and accessories The first issue is whether you should go veggie gradually or cold turkey “Some people just know they’re ready to give up meat and do so overnight" said Jennie Collura president of the North American Vegetarian Society Others are more comfortable making the transition slowly “Begin by increasing your number of meatless meals per week” said Judy Krizmanic author of “A Tfcen’s Guide to Going Vegetarian” “Or cut out beef pork and veal first then progress to eliminating poultry and fish” The most popular group of vegetarians are “semis” who consume some poultry and fish and may

poisonous items in their original containers is that the ingredients arc readily known should ingestion occur When relatives visit children or host them in their homes “It is best not to have pills in those daily packs" Crouch said noting that many pills look like candy and the packs arc generally easy to open In addition parents should never refer to medicine as candy to entice their children to take it Nor should they take medicine — ev en mouthwash — in front of a child Crouch said “Children like to mimic" Mouthwash in particular she food containers “is one of the than not to Crouch
