I really want to be a teen veggie, but i have a big meat eating family. how do I tell them? and, how is tofu?

Question

I am really worried about my mom, dad, and grandparents

Answer 1

Go to http://www.naturalnews.com and enter vegetarian in the search box at the top of the page, and read through everything that comes up.And while you're at it, check out the rest of the page.Lots of good info there, and best of all, it's totally free ! What got me into vegging out is the concept of live food vs dead food.That's clearly explained on the Page.Hope this helps !

Answer 2

Don't buy into the veggie garbage and better health. Eat your meats and veggies and you will be fine.

Answer 3

well its your body and you decide what you eat, you will have to talk to your doctor to see if your body can handle it, you will need supplements anyway because youre not eating enough protein like from meat well anyway ive tasted tofu its sort of bland

Answer 4

that's a big step, and good for you for even considering going veg! It's a bit of a challenge, but i think it's rewarding. Telling my family wasn't easy, and they do still treat me like i have a third eye or something, but once they learned that i wasn't going to stop they quit teasing so much.

Make it clear to them that you are willing to cook for yourself so your mom doesn't have to make a separate meal for you, and ask them to please be supportive of you.

Also, tofu is DELICIOUS! For a meatier texture, freeze it before cooking with it. ;.)  It's actually really good marinated and grilled like salmon or steak, or diced and thrown in a stir-fry, or really anything. And don't think that's your only protein option, either. There's beans, tempeh, quinoa.... You'll never get bored with the options!

Answer 5

I think you've made a very smart choice :)! Just sit down and talk to them and tell them you'd appreciate if they supported your decision.
