on the b12 thing yeah alot of soymilks and stuff are fortified with it but its really important to not forget about b12, its a totally essential vitamin. jusyt eat a varied diet and you shall be perfectly fine for all other nutrients, i agree with evie. make sure you get 15/20 minutes of sun a day for vitamin D a day and then you'll be sweet. i recommend the skinny bitch in the kitch cookbook as a good vegan cookbook to help get you all started. ;-)
cooli really love the title of that cookbook even though my women's studies teacher used it as a anti-feminist example in class loli was also wondering if a food label says "may contain some traces of milk or eggs" would i be cheating if i ate it?or is it such a small amount that it wouldn't matter...
as your a new vegan, if i were u i wouldnt be too concerned about that. it usually says that for people who have allergies (serious allergies) like you know those people who can die if they smell peanuts? cause they make the food with the same equipment as they make those products with milk/egs or whatever. and they dont wan to be held responsible, but its not an ingredient. so it shouldnt be a large enough amount (if theres any) to make a difference.
I generally avoid anything that says may contain traces of milk or eggs, even though it's probably just due to the fact that it's produced on the same equipment, like Melody said. It's definitely a personal choice though.

i have no advice at all but just wanted to share that one of my best friends in middle school went vegan when we were 13. :) AH, such memories! i think i might have been a vegetarian at the time, along with another friend. in ten years you're going to be so proud, and definitely tall with very strong bones. :) her family had lots of health problems and issues with obesity, and her going vegan probably helped her grow into a healthy adult. without her diet it would have been totally different for her.
I'm Vegan and I'm 16. I've been Vegan since I was 13, since November 2008; So, officially 3 years. Good luck!
