Could I say I am a vegetarian?!
I don't eat any meat!. But I eat milk products, I eat chocolate, honey!. No eggs!. Yet, my doctor recommended me lots of supplements, vitamins and stuff!. One of them is fish oil capsules (yes, I know)!. I also have troubles with my parents due to my decision, so I don't feel like throwing the medicine away, as it costs money!. I love animals and I don't wish to contribute to animal cruelty, yet!.!.!. I just can't face my parents about this!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
my parents don't support my being a vegetarian, but i do it anyways, :] if your parents truly love and support you they will allow you to be a vegetarian!. and i think you should still take the capsules!. your already saving a lot of animals lives! i don't think consuming a few tablets for your health is so bad!. but it is truly your decision! what ever you do, will be right!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well, technically you really can't be considered vegetarian if you take fish oil!. also, despite what the doc says, you don't need supplements or vitamins of any kind to be healthy on a vegetarian/vegan diet!. I'm a vegan (no meat, eggs, dairy, or honey), and I don't take supplements and am doing fine!. Your doctor is probably just trying to make sure you don't develop any deficiencies, since a lot of new vegetarians don't always know what foods they should eat to get all the nutrients they need, but you can do it if you do a little bit of research, it's a lot easier than it sounds!. If your vegetarianism means a lot to you, I'm sure your parents will understand you not taking the fish oil capsules!. If they don't, maybe you could just finish one bottle of it and not get it refilled!. Anyway, good luck with your vegetarianism! Whatever you decide, remember that you're already saving animal's lives because of your decision to go veg!. =) Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well, knowingly taking the fish oil capsules really takes you out of the vegetarian category!. Have you opened them!? If not, just take them back!. If you have, just give them away or let your parents take them!.
But I don't think it's a problem to call yourself vegetarian!. This is just a minor technicality!. When you finish off the fish oil, though, don't let your parents buy you any more!. If you explain to them what vegetarianism is all about and why you want to do it, they should understand!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You don't need supplements to be vegetarian or vegan!.
Doctors are idiots about vegetarian and vegan nutrition!.
There are over a million vegans alive today, many of whom don't take supplements!.
I don't and I'm in perfect health!.
Perhaps you could give the medicines to someone else who needs them so they don't buy them!?
I hope your parents are supportive!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Trouble with parents!? Time to move, they need to respect your decision! Yes yo are a vegetarian!. Vegans are people who eat no dairy!. It is a very healthy way of life, I have been a Vegetarian for a long time now!. Show your mom the following website and learn about the horrors of factory farming, the animals are treated so awful, it is truly a sin, they have feelings like we do, I have a pet pig Hector and 2 pet goats, Minnie and Tinker, 3 dogs and 14 cats, I rescue animals from a horrible life, and don't miss eating meat one bit! I get sick if I see it!
good luck to you!

Yes, I consider you to be a vegetarian!. And I feel your pain with the parent issue!. I'm in my 30's and not living at home and they still give me grief about it!. All you can do is try your best to eat a balanced vegetarian diet and stay healthy and prove them wrong!. Maybe eventually they'll come around!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
sounds like a vegetarian to me!. i'm a vegetarian newbie (about 1 1/2 yrs now) and i visited a nutrionist when i started to help with meal options for getting sufficient nutrients for my height/weight!.
use the principle of Jesus as he stated at Luke 14:28 and "count the cost" involved in being a vegetarian!. do some research that you might possibly share with your parents & hopefully they will respect your decision!. happy eating! :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

well, I have a friend that calls herself a vegquarian!. She eats seafood but not like poultry!. I think you have to talk to your parents about this!. Show them why this is so important to you and let them know it's your decision!.
So I suppose you could call yourself one but then again you could make some fancy name up for it ;)
Best of luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
