                                According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and appropriate for individuals at all stages of the life cycle. This means there is no single "best age to become a vegetarian," but rather that careful planning is the key to nutritional success at any age.
