Answers:
I don't know the best way of becoming a vegetarian because I am not sure there is a "best" way!. I can however tell you how I became a vegetarian!.

More than a year ago I was surfing the web!. I wanted to look for some vegetarian recipes for my husband that has been a vegetarian for more than 13 years!. I found a site the had recipes, but they also had a movie called "meet your meat"!. I decided to watch it because I was curious!.

After I watched the movie I cried and I almost threw up!. I had eaten a cheeseburger that day and it was no longer settled in my stomach!. A plethora of emotions went through me in the hours after I watched that movie!. I felt guilt, disgust, empathy, and then I knew what I had to do!.

That was the last day I ate meat!. I haven't eaten meat for over a year now and I never will again!.

I only thought of eating meat twice!. Both those times I forced myself to review the movie!. After that the smell of meat made me think of the video!. When people talk about meat all I can think of is the suffering!.

Then I went on to learn new things like about how vegetarianism is better for my health and the environment!.

If is SO great that your parents are supportive of your decision!. As you can see on this board, many parents are not!.

Do your research and study hard about how to stay healthy as a vegetarian!. This year was a learning experience for me!. It wasn't easy to be a vegetarian in the beginning, but after a year I feel like a seasoned pro!.

Feel free to e-mail me through my profile and ask any questions that you may have!. I am 25 and I have two little boys!. I know a lot about being a vegetarian and I am always willing to share my knowledge with anyone who might benefit from it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cut all meats out slowly!. Don't just stop eating meat just off, let your body get acclimated to your new diet!. Basically do it yourself meaning buy your own foods, snacks and make your own food!. Most meat eaters will be irritated by your diet(i just became a vegetarian 1 yr ago) my fam is still not used to it!. , although you have no help or advice, buy things to replace the proteins you would be loosing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Are you going to learn to cook for yourself or are you expecting your parent to cook two separate meals!?

The best way to start without putting the burden on others is to start cooking for yourself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try it if you want, but I personally think vegetarians are an awful pasty-looking unhealthy bunch!. Don't feel bad if you decide meat is really actually pretty good after all!. God gave you meat-eater's teeth, after all!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

good idea!.(: make sure that you get a lot of protein!. and watch your iron levels!. good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
