These foods are not made from the animal itself, so are acceptable to vegetarians. There are many different sources of protein besides meat, and veggies have to eat a wide variety to make sure that they are getting enough. This means that veggies can eat just the same kinds of foods as their omnivorous friends, as there are veggie sausages, grills, nuggets and all different kinds of meat-type foods for veggies to choose from. Sometimes omnivores like to eat these foods too. B. Lesson Plan Explain that protein is especially important for children, as they need it to grow and for maintenance and repair.
Protein is found in lots of different foods.
Ask the pupils how many different sources of protein they can think of. Then you could ask them if they know what the word 'vegetarian' means. Explain that as vegetarians do not eat any meat or fish vegetarians have to find some of their protein from plant sources. The rest is made up from dairy products and eggs. First, run through the activity sheet with the pupils.
