Hi I have to say that I would not consider being a vegetarian or vegan stupid at all!. I'm 17 years old and have eaten meat all my life but recently I have made the commitment to become a vegetarian and hopefully convert to being a vegan if i can stick to it!. I think if you make the choice right now to do something like this it will really benefit you and your health a lot!. Just make sure that you have a support system whether its your parents/ family or friends and I think you will do great!. If you need resources you can go check out PETA!.com and if you can sign up for a vegetarian starter kit, which is a magazine with lots of great tips and tricks for changing into a vegetarian or vegan and it's free, I just got mine in the mail!. So i wish you the best of luck and I'm definitely with you on that animal cruelty is wrong, and I love animals especially my cat and dog!. : )Www@FoodAQ@Com
You should become vegitarian because you said that you love animals and I also love animals and I have been a vegitarian all my life and I have 14 years old and I have never touched a dish with meat in it or sea food!.
also,this will help save more animals!.To me,you can get all the good things you need for your body being a vegitarian as a meat eater AND A lOT more you can get good things for your body as a vegi and help save animals!.So I think you should become a vegitarian!.I am accually happy that you are seriously thinking about a vegi because there have been people in my classes last year(in eight grade) who want to become vegitarians but take no action or don't even try to find more about it!.
P!.S!.
Jellition has meat in it(usually in sweets like candy and Jello)
Emizimes have meat in them(usuallly in cheese)
Aspertame:It might help you loose weight but what most people are NOT aware of is that it has lots of chemicals bad for your body!.(it is usually in gum,candies,and other sweets)
There are foods made out of soy beans and supposed to be like meat but it is NOT!.It is completly vegan!.
For my birthday this year, we went to a vegan resterant called I think "All Vegitarian" and they had things like orange chicken(ALL VEGAN) and other foods(VEGAN)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, just YOU won't help stop the killing of animals very much!. But the more people who convert to vegetarianism, and who can talk others into being vegetarian too, will eventually create a very large population of non-meat eaters which will lead to a lack of money in factories that produce meat and kill animals, because no one will purchase meat products anymore and I believe eventually will become bankrupt if a lot of people have hope and believe in the cause!.

No it's not stupid to be a vegetarian!. If you love animals, that will be a great choice to become one!. But of course you need to have a healthy vegetarian diet cause if you are gonna be one you're gonna cut out your meats and protein!. So eat nuts, legumes, etc!. for your protein!. Research on what foods to eat to have a healthy vegetarian lifestyle!.
I don't think it's stupid unless you're one of those or planning to be 'vegetarian(s)' who make a big deal out of it saying to other people in school "IM A VEGETARIAN" when you eat stuff like ramen noodles chicken flavor that have meat fat in it!. There's people like that in my school and gets me mad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The choice you have taken is great because yes there is cruelty towards animals and realising such a thing at your age and becoming a vegeterian is good but i hope you keep up with such a difficult decision!.
Well there are many advantages of becoming a vegeterian !.I'll tell a few:-
1!.Cancer Protection-we lower our risk of cancer by choosing predominantly plant-based diets rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits, legumes and minimally processed starchy staple foods
2!.Heart Disease-Regular fruit and vegetable consumption reduces the risk of ischemic heart disease!.
3!.Anthocyanin pigments, the reddish pigments found in fruits, such as strawberries, cherries, cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, and black currants, are very effective in scavenging free radicals, inhibiting LDL cholesterol oxidation and inhibiting platelet aggregation!.
4!.frequent nut consumption is associated with a 30-60% reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease
So my freind your decision is awesome and yes you should be proud of setting an example to others!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Its not stupid!. Its a personal choice!. At your age I don't think you could safely do this on your own!. Please talk to your parents about your thoughts or better yet, consult with your doctor!.
And you are right!.!.!.the animals will be killed and sold whether you eat them or not!. The images you saw were likely from a 'factory farm' where animals are produced to solely produce!. Talk to your parents about buying local and organic meat!. Buying this way will obviously lessen the support of huge and cruel factory farming!.
also keep in mind that you can follow the food pyramid for eating and live a completely healthy life!. If more people in the US ate by those standards we would be a much healthier country!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
