Answer 1

You need to sit down with them and explain your decision, and make sure that they know that they aren't obligated to cater to your food needs, and that you can/will provide your own if it's much trouble.

My parents (and my grandparents, moreso) treated me like i was a bit of a sideshow character for a while, and i still get an offhand comment every now and then from the 'ol grandpa, but they've gotten used to it. Its funny, cause they almost treat me like i'm a L*****n or something. one of those "alternative lifestyles" they lump all together.

Answer 2

just come up to them when they arent busy and explain your P.O.V

Answer 3

I was probably quite a bit older than you when I told my family, but I actually just didn't eat any meat.  I was visiting my brother's house and it took them a while to realize that I wasn't eating any meat.  When they asked I told them.  

Or you could always start with an ice breaker like, "Mom, I'm pregnant!"

They'll be so relieved when you tell them, no, I'm just a vegetarian.... ;)

Answer 4

"Mom, Dad, I've decided to go vegetarian because (insert your reasons here). I respect your decisions, so I'd appreciate it if you could respect mine."

Answer 5

your a veggie huh.....anyway just tell them. who the h**l cares what others think, if thats how you want to be, be that way. Follow yourself an dbe your own leader don't let others influence you...

Answer 6

just let them know how you feel. i am veg too, and luckily my fam is very supportive. just tell them nicely, and if they disagree, dont argue. if they truely love you they wont care and they will let you be who you are.
