I'm danika :) i'm 17 and i've been an advice columnist for almost 2 years i'm not on here a lot anymore but feel free to leave me and inbox and i'll get back to you asap
advice
So my family is kind of divided into two when it comes to eating I guess. My dad and my sister cannot. ABSOLUTELY cannot go on for more than a day without eating meat. My mom and I, we could really care less. But nowadays my mom is getting swept into the whole "Need meat everyday" scene.
Well, I'm 14/f and I want to be a vegetarian because I find eating meat so often is disgusting and I just want a healthier lifestyle.
The problem is that my mom will not let me be a vegetarian saying that it is unhealthy [I know, ironic, right?] She always prepares meals containing meat so I have nothing else to eat and she literally shoves meat down my throat lol
So my question is how should I bring up the topic of me becoming a vegetarian again? How can I convince her that me being a vegetarian is not unhealthy and that it's not a sin or a bad thing? What are some food she can cook without meat in there and is still healty (try to avoid eggs please)? Just overall how can I get my mom to let me be a vegetarian?
i'm a vegetarian. and it can be unhealthy for you;; if you eat the wrong foods. on average a veg lives 6-10 years longer than the average person. to convince her that being a vegetarian is not unheathly write her a paper using quotes from the peta.com site. research it;; after all she cannot FORCE you to eat meat... she can cook a lot of things. veggies, pasta, lasagne (without meet). see when my mom cooks meat for dinner i usually just eat one of my soy or veggie burgers... there are substatutes for just about anything just go into the vegetarian section of your local grocery store..
(Rating: 5) Thanks =] And I know that when you are a vegetarian sometimes junk food at fries and such may become a big part of the diet and I know that's bad =]
