How do i tell my mom i've decided to go veg?!


Question: How do i tell my mom i've decided to go veg!?
my mom doesn't really approve of a vegetarian diet because she's a nutritionist and she thinks i won't get the right nutrition!. but i've done the research and i know what supplements to take!. i know she's going to disapprove of me becoming a vegetarian because i tried it before and i gave up because she always nagged me and never let me buy vegetarian food!. so i started eating meat again for her, but i decided that i'm not doing this for her, i'm doing it for the animals, the environment and my health!. so how can i tell her in a way that won't upset her!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You don't need supplements!. I don't take them and I'm fine!.

Tell her to shut up and do it!. My parents didn't approve and one day I just started cooking my own meals, and didn't let them stop me!. Would they rather buy you food you can eat(like vegetables and fruits) or watch you starve!? But you have to be strong, don't give in!. Follow your morals and do what you think is right!.

Write a poem and recite it to her, something like this:

I know you want me to eat meat
but I've tried and tasted
and it's really not a treat,
so all those animals are wasted!.

I'm not a meat kinda girl
as veggies are best for me,
I want to give the vegetarian lifestyle a whirl,
Please let me give it a try and we'll see!

Make sure to let her know that while your poem is cute, you take this very seriously and if she will let you do this, she can monitor your health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

"Mom, I'm becoming a vegetarian now!." And leave it at that!. Don't argue with her, just live as you wish, eating healthfully as you wish!. Eat lots of BEANS, LENTILS, RICE, TOFU, WHOLE WHEAT PASTA and spinach to make sure you get enough protein!. Take vitamins and eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies!. Live the way you want to but make sure you do it right - healthfully - and show your mom that you can do it!.

Right now you probably sound like a kid that wants a guitar and guitar lessons just to never practice!.

Prove her wrong and your body/mind right!.

Wow!. You're mother is an example of one of the many stupid nutritionist -- no offense!.

I'm in college now studying to become a dietitian/nutritionist - and I'm a raw food vegan!.

Just try to tell her, what your plans are!. What is she going to do!? Force the meat down your throat!? (if she does that call the CPS)

I understand some people can be extremely close-minded when it comes to NOT eating meat!. But try your best!.

How old are you!? If you're at working age, try getting a job to pay for your food - that way she cannot control what you eat or bring in the houseWww@FoodAQ@Com

"Mom I'm a vegetarian now!. Please pass the turnips!."

Nutritionists generally know the advantages of a vegetarian diet!.
If you've done the research, then you know you don't need to take supplements if you eat right!.

Level 1,!. private Q&A, hmmmWww@FoodAQ@Com

"Mom, I'm a vegetarian now!. Have a nice day =]"Www@FoodAQ@Com

First of all if your eating the proper nutrients you don't need to take "supplements"!.!.!.supplements don't digest properly in the body!.

and you just tell her!.!.!.i am a vegetarian now!.!.!.!.i know how to eat properly and thats that!.

if she's a nutritionist she is obviously not a very good one because eating meat is not good for you and the populations that live the longest eat the most amount of fresh vegetables!.!.!.!.japanese, italians, 7th day Adventists !.!.!.ect!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
