Vegetarianism, My parents don't support me :( Options

[megggnasty]

For the longest time I've wanted to become a vegetarian, and for a while I was, but it didn't work out because I wasn't getting the protein I needed because I can't cook and my parents did not support me at all. They said they knew I wouldn't last and that it was "too hard" to make vegetarian meals. It's healthier! I don't understand why the whole family can't go for it. You can use TVP to make spaghetti sauce, and it tastes EXACTLY the same as regular beef. Does anybody have any suggestions about how I can be vegetarian, even with a family that won't make vege meals?

I tried becoming a vegetarian, and I told my mom that I wanted to be one. The next day, she made delicious chicken for dinner. She claimed that I won't get enough protein. Anways, I realized that I will wait until I am in college and then make my own decision.

As for you, you can eat a vegetarian breakfast and lunch (at school). And all your snacks can be vegetarian.

It's healthier!

Not necessarily. Vegetarian's can fill themselves up on carbs. Yet meat eaters can eat too much red meat.
