Misconceptions about vegetarianism abound. Many people mistakenly assume that they will be forced to subsist on "strange" foods like wheat germ, or survive on lettuce and brown rice. Others are concerned that their diets will be tasteless or unhealthy without the hamburgers, chicken, cheese and other animal products that they are accustomed to.

Demonstrating to vegetarians-to-be that compassionate eating is delicious, easy and healthful is why vegan feed-ins are so important.

Feed-ins work because rather than telling someone what they can't have, they showcase foods that are available. Most individuals transitioning toward vegetarianism are amazed at the wealth of new tastes they can enjoy. Whether it's a vegan version of chicken nuggets or a creamy dairy-free ice cream cone, vegan feed-ins give the public delicious, healthy samples of cruelty-free food. The vegetarian samples provided are always examples of foods that are readily available at mainstream supermarkets and affordable to the average household.

Rather than presenting vegetarianism as a diet of abstinence or sacrifice, vegan feed-ins demonstrate the variety and abundance of vegetarian eating and present it as a mainstream, healthy and positive lifestyle choice.
