Help Me Explain!?!
I haven't seen my dad for 4 months because he has been away on business!. I get to see him in 2 weeks which is kind of exciting except for one thing!. Within the last 4 months I have became vegetarian!. I know my dad will support me but I am almost sure my step mom will sneak meat into my food or won't let me cook my own meat-less food!. She is really stubborn!. My mom said that I should tell her before I go so she can prepare but I know she will freak over the phone!. My stepdad suggested email!. I know that she will try to get my dad to help her make me eat meat!.
So how do I tell them that I am a vegetarian!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should be old enough to eat your own food!. Stick up for yourself!. Don't let the evil stepmother touch your food!. Your dad will understand!. They might think you will try and make them a veggie too!. It's not that hard!. Opt for going out to restaurants and choose vegetarian food and explain to them then!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would probably tell your dad alone tell him why and when you became a vegetarian Get him to explain it to your step mother then that night when your step mother says something about it reminder about the reasons why you are a vegetarian and how much it means to you!. So far as sneaking meat into your food I am not sure why don't you try making a easy super like salad or a sandwhich the fir st few nights that she knows then make something pasta that is a little harder to make and takes more time maybe this way you can keep a watch full I on her of make it harder to sneak in meat!. If she does then pick around it or get a different plate to put it on!.If you do eat meat then keep trying to be a vegetarian!. She'll give up some time or another!. And remember your doing the right thing by being a vegetarian your can save little harmless animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh god, what an evil step mother she is, hey!? She shouldn't do that to you!.!.!.
If she doesn't accept you being a vegetarian, ask your dad to talk to her for you!. Bring your own food that you can cook yourself so she doesn't sneak meat in your meals!. If she cooks something for you, look in it first and check to see if there is no meat at all!.
Or you don't have to tell your step mom at all!. Buy Morning Star products or Yves and pretend it's real meat!. Don't tell her its vegetarian/vegan friendly!.!.!. The mock meat looks like actual meat and tastes like actual meat :D
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
