If there's only meat around and you eat it, do u still can be a vegetarian?
I wanted to become a vegetarian now about a year but all what ma buys and cook is meat even at my school nothing but meat and i tried to throw just the meat then I ended up with a pineapple and milk.
so just for this time being am I still considered a vegetarian?
Answers:
Well, no you are not a vegetarian because you eat meat. Even if you have to because there is nothing else to eat in the house.
However that does not mean you are not well on your way to a much healthier and humane life. When we live with parents, are diets are limited to what our parents buy. You may want to talk with you mom, and possibly even go shopping with her. I have yet to see a mom in a grocery store tell a child asking for veggies "no".
You may need to cook for yourself and bring your own school lunch. Most schools offer at least one vegetarian alternative. If not you could talk to administration, most are more than willing to work with you. I am sure you would not be the only vegetarian at the school.
I really suggest talking to your parents, as you don't seem to mention that you have. Supply information about health and nutrition so they are not thrown for a loop. There are great resources out there to help you. You are not the first kid whose parents cook a lot of meat and you will not be the last. Being vegetarian is up to you. If you really want it you can find a way to make it work, just like everyone else. No one said the transition was a simple one, or that everyone would accept and help you make the transition.
Good luck.
You can take small steps. The conditions in which I now live would never allow me to give up meat completely, as much as I would like to. Around here, even going to restaurants one is highly unlikely to find a vegetarian item unless one modifies the CRAP out of entrees. I have given up eating all mammals or using mammalian products (leather, milk, etc). I still suffer through poultry and seafood but once I am completely on my own, I plan on giving that up as well.
No. Meat is not a vegetable.
