maybe some websites or ideas to help me? Thanks :)))
I'm against the idea going from meat eater to vegetarian to vegan.
You're over analyzing. I use to be known as a carnivore, and I lived off meat.
So then one day I just decided to be vegan.
DEFINITELY not as hard as everyone says it is or as it sounds.
You're taste buds will adjust.
They have lots of substitutions.
Fake burgers, fake ice cream, fake ice cream sandwiches, fake mayonnaise, fake cheese, fake donuts, whatever.
Really you need to think about just how much you want to be vegan and why you want to be vegan.
The way it's worded it sounds like you still eat meat the moment so why not go veggie first and then vegan. Vegan is a big jump...
Look for help ask for support from family - it means more than freak off here
*dances around with party crackers* wooohh!! GO ....umm (INSERT NAME HERE!!)
lol, everytime you see something non vegan just think "NO GARY NO! NO GARY NO!" lol, its from a quit smoking add aired in australia, you should be able to watch it on youtube... for niccorette i think...
ANYWAY! the main point is if you don't want to torment yourself, then for every day you eat completely vegan, reward yourself with a constant craving (yet another australian thing, SORRY) they are a vegan chocolate that you will litterally constantly crave.
Just think of all of the benifits and how guilty you would feel going back to eating meat products.
Your dad sounds pretty cool I guess, just pat his belly or bald patch or something and say "you know vegans are skinny, you know vegans have long hair (well the hippy ones do!!)
Then start making really yummy vegan deserts and claim that its all research.. if they make jokes, just say if you went back to eating meat products you wouldt have any reason to make deserts.
there are TONNES of vegan support groups, especially for teens. just google it :P
Good luck!
Being a vegan means you need to cut out all DAIRY + PROTEIN foods, as well as foods that contain gelatine.
Just remember to make sure you get enough protein in your diet [eat almonds, lentils, and other nuts] and for dairy why not try some rice or soy milk [no animal product in this whatsoever]
It may be hard at first, and some vegans get quite sick
just remember to eat lots of healthy vegies and fruit, biscuits and anything else you wish to eat.
Good luck
heres a good website

I don't think you should start such a dangerous diet, and stick to healthy food like chicken, eggs, yogurt, fish and products like dark rice and full grain bread. Vegetables and fruit should be included in your diet, but don't miss out on important proteins. Every one sided diet is not healthy.
Many people are allergic to tofu, so you should reconsider your plan and listen to your parents.
woooo! go go go!!!!
swat ur dad like i wittle pie!
and you go ahead and finsih that vegan pie!
woah
that was lame
that was terrible

And I'm a fan of Compassion Over Killing (www.cok.net). If you live in North America, you can order a vegetarian starter guide and even a tiny recipe booklet.
Check out Carol J. Adams' "Living Among Meat Eaters." While it's geared toward people who already are veg*an (that's shorthand for "vegetarian or vegan," by the way), it might help you deal with the folks who are going to insult you as you're trying to make the transition.
All I can do is wish you the best of luck as you make the transition.
Here is something easy to read and easy to use. It also has some unique, tasty recipes that you won't have to look at a hundred websites to get answers. Check out the website listed below
