It makes me so angry. My mum just hates me being vegetarian and said she would disown me if I stopped eating fish as well as meat, and my dad just blathers on about nutrition and protein. But I know for a fact that I can have just as healthy a diet without meat, how can I make them come around?
 
Vegetarians I know eat fish and chicken from time to time, but avoid all other kinds of meat. You may have a healthy diet in some ways, but fish provide essential oils such as Omega 3 fatty acids which help prevent against heart disease.

There are other ways to get your protein, but I don't know how much you like peanut butter and whether you eat eggs(seeing how they come from a cow) or not. You can do protein shakes and bars, but they can get costly.
 
there are different brands of chicken-free chicken , meat-free patties, ect. you should tell your parents that. (:

check this site out for all brands and stuff!

this website helps alot with foods from meat to diary products(if your vegan)

good luck! tell your parents your responsible for your self and that you can take care of your self too.
 
Give them a copy of "The China Study" and "Skinny Bitch" (give the latter one to your mom, as it is geared toward women). If they care about you, they'll do their research.
 
Well see i'm a vegetarian always have been always will be. See, eat fruits vegetables, and foods that have protein. Soups (tomato creamed brocolli and stuff like that) chowder...
vegetable stir fry
