Are you a give-me-gourmet vegan? A curious carnivore? A battery-powered battler of the meat industry? Or a heart-on-your-sleeve hero for animals? Take our quiz and find out!
1. What’s in your lunchbox?
a) Homemade vegan “Sloppy Joes” and vanilla soy milk.
b) PB&J.
c) What lunchbox? I asked the principal for a hot vegan entrée at every meal—and got it.
d) A bologna sandwich ... again.
2. If you were a (nonhuman) animal, you’d be:
a) A faithful cow or bull. One bull, Barnaby, was so smart that when his guardian died, he walked a mile to the cemetery and stood vigil at his guardian’s grave for days!
b) A pig. They dream, are smart, and sing to the moon (the ones who aren’t locked in windowless factory farms, that is).
c) A chicken. These birds have a great sense of humor: One chicken likes to sneak up on a cat, scare him, and then run away, cackling.
d) A tail-wagging dog—always ready to be anybody’s friend.
3. You went (or are thinking about going) vegan because:
a) Someone told me that vegan kids have above-average IQs.
b) I looked at my kitty and realized that “I wouldn’t eat her. So how could I eat other animals?”
c) I can’t be a meat-eating environmentalist!
d) I’m always picking off the pepperoni and sausage anyway.
4. After school, you’re going to:
a) Try out a new vegan “chocolate cream crunchies” recipe.
b) Watch Zoom and dunk chocolate Newman-O’s in vanilla soy milk.
c) Hand out leaflets at the local KFC urging people to stay away until KFC treats birds better.
d) Go to 4-H. I’m learning to care for rabbits and sheep.
5. Your mom has to page you at the grocery store because you’re doing this:
a) Grabbing my canvas grocery totes from the car. I care about the environment, which is why I’m vegan. (A vegan diet saves rain forests that are being chopped down for grazing cattle.)
b) Eenie-meenie-miney-mo-ing the Soy Delicious nondairy “ice cream” flavors—Rocky Road, Swinging Anna Banana, or gooey Turtle Tracks? Some help here, please!
c) Scribbling away on a comment card at the customer service desk, “I adore the Tofu Pups, but how ’bout some Silk soy yogurt?”
d) Searching for the Silk soy milk that the snowboarder girl drinks in that commercial I saw on TV.


Now, tally up! Which letter did you circle the most times?


If you chose more a’s than any other letter, then you may be: Le Végétarien Sophistiqué
You’re always hungry to learn more about the pos effects a vegan diet has on your fellow animals, the planet, and your body. You love a good challenge—usually in the form of a great new exotic vegan recipe. Your vegan diet has broadened your horizons—now you keep local ethnic eateries in business!

Were you busy circling b’s? Does this sound like you? The Emo Vegetarian
Not eating animals is a no-brainer for you. Your heart tells you that it’s not fair to make someone else suffer just so that you can have a snack. For you, being vegan is a snap, never a sacrifice. You may not realize it, but other kids at school are taking notice of your compassionate ways and will soon follow in your footsteps.

Circle lotsa c’s? Sound familiar? The “Don’t Forget to Sleep!” Vegetarian
You’re well aware of how your choices and your voice make a humongous difference for animals. You never leave the house without an “Ask me why I’m vegan” button or a stash of cards urging people, “Please, think before you eat.” Animals are so lucky to have you, in all your wonderful boldness, on their side.

Is your quiz dominated by d’s? Then this may describe you: The Maybe-Not-for-Long Meat-Eater
Maybe there’s a question mark after every quarter-pounder you eat. Perhaps you’re an animal lover who knows, deep down inside, that you’d chuck your pork chops if only you didn’t have mom and dad to deal with. Well, yay to you for using your noggin to turn those ponderous hmmms into satisfying mmmms! Visit PETAKids.com for tips and easy recipes.
