turning vegetarian

**cavy_upstairs** · #1 05-13-05, 09:15 pm

i think im going to turn vegetarian. im 13 years old and i dont know how my parents will take it. they WONT make me eat meat, they arnt like that. but they dont agree with vegetarians. i think that they think their hippies. (rolls eyes) but anyway, meat has always been my FAVORITE food, but ive realised how bad and cruel it is so im going vegetarian. from now on, its NO MEAT AT ALL! i cant bear to eat dead mammels so from now on its fruits and vegetables.... wish me luck!

It's not all fruit and veggies! There is loads of food you can eat - rice, pasta, hundreds of meat substitutes like quorn and soya.

With these substitutes you can me lasagne, shepherds pie, chicken tikka masala etc

No no no, vegetariants aren't 'hippies'. Like I said in my other post just show them the cruelty and say you won't stand for it - http://www.londonpunks.co.uk/animalrights.htm

thats why they think vegetarians are hippies,

things like that.

I understand what you mean about being 'hippies'; However, ask around and you may be pleasantly surprised by people around you who are veg. I have, without really talking to them, made two more people realize the horrors of factory farming. One is veg now, and the other is convincing her parents. It's awesome! I also know one other girl in my grade who is veg, and I didn't even know that before! It's awesome. Sure, you're going to get crap (mostly from guys). Just be prepared to fight back.

i just told my parents about being a vegetarian, this is how the conversation went

mom

comes through the door) hey! i brought you home some kfc!

me: (i gagged)

mom: what? you dont like chicken?

me: no, not anymore

mom: what? are you like a vegetarian or somthing? come on!

me:accualy yes, i am.

mom: (aquard silence)

mom: (quietly) ohhhh.....

then she walked away, i think she was pretty embarrased.

but that was the first time ive ever refused KFC because i didnt know how bad it was before. and i used to LOVE it, although i cant remember how it tastes...
