Is it bad to be a vegetarian if im 11?!
Answers: Im elevenyears old, my name is kandice (kandy) And i haave'nt ate meat for about 3-4 months, if i dont eat meat, will i die?? Or is it just bad for me?? PLUS - I just CANT eat meat, i hate the fact that its an innocent animal. And i ALWAYS think about it when im eating.
Kandice, I was in the same boat as you. You can live without meat, definitely. I am now 21 and have been a vegetarian for 10 years and am doing just fine. Make sure eat things with high protein that will take the place of your meats, like eggs, seeds, nuts (see the list below...ignoring the meaty foods of course) and maybe even take ask your parents about taking a vitamin. But don't worry, there are a lot of people out there who go many decades without eating meat!
its ok
No you won't die.
Theres substitutes for meat for vegetarians.
YOU WON'T DIE! IT'S NORMAL!
There is nothing wrong with being a vegetarian. 11 year olds should not be using yahoo answers.
its otay
no hun its fine!
im one too and im only 14!
you need to eat portien
You won't die from being a vegetarian...but make sure you take vitamins and maybe even see your doctor to make sure you are getting the right amount of nutrition that you need to keep growing.
I don't really know
You should ask a vegetarian activist
they'll give all, I mean ALL the facts you should know
trust me :)
no, you're good
its not bad to be a veg. but since you are only 11, you might need some of the protein from the meat. you are still growning. but heyy it is your choice.
its okay just try to get protein in your body regularly
No it's fine. You wont die. However, your body does need the neutritions in meet so go to the health food store and get like some soy, or to fo and your good. A lot of people are vegans/vegitarians and they make it through life fine. Good luck and have fun with it!
No it actually will keep your blood pressure healthy, keep you thin as you get older, lower your chances for heart problems and certain cancers by drastic ammounts. And don't listen to anybody if they say it'll keep you from growing cause I've only had meat once in my life and I'm 6 feet tall!
It's bad if you haven't been educated on it. You should speak with a nutritionist as your body is still developing and very much in need of specific proteins, nutrients and vitamins. If you chose to cut out meat, you have to know how to make the right substitutions to ensure that you are living a healthy lifestyle.
As long as you're taking the correct supplements to replenish what you get from meat.
it's not the greatest thing to do but i know people who have been in your situation. Just make sure you are getting the same nutrients you get from meat
its not bad for you at all.. its actually good for you.
there are plenty of meat subsitutes.
you just have to make sure you get enough protien in your body and stay healthy.
make sure youre eating the correct amount of food to stay healthy.
youre not going to die. trust me. some families raise their kids to be vegetarians.
No being vegetarian at 11 is not a problem. My friends are raising their son as a vegetarian, he's 5 now. However, they are very careful to balance their diet and to make sure their son has all the proper nutrition he needs. I hope you've been talking to your parents about your new diet. You have to learn how to follow a proper vegetarian diet. Good luck!
you won't get the right nutrients you need to grow
that's not very good for you,
protein is essential for growth,
you might need to take supplements, and/or alternatives
its not a bad thing no. but you need to get protein in another way like eat alot of eggs and nuts and such because if you dont you lose alot of nutrients and theres a tiny tiny tiny chance you could eventually die at such a young age.
actually thats a good thing.......... make sure your getting protein somewhere else....... peanut butter, any type of nut, or protein shakes.
its bad for u , u could die ... but u would need some serious deficiencies, i would take some vitamines
It's not healthy to be a vegetarian.Humans are Omnivores.Healthy people have a well-rounded diet.
absolutley not! it's fine to be a vegetarian. you may go a little pale but just get your protein and your good!
Yes..ask your mother
You can eat meat, God intended that we can eat meat.
It's pretty easy to eat those innocent animals. Just think, if they were out in the wild, they'd probably just get eaten by some other predator.
Besides, meat is so tastey.
eating meat is a very bad thing being vegetarian is an extremely good thing you just have to eat eggs like 15x more and no you wont freaking die thats way too dramatic its not bad for you either
