Why are teenagers not eating as much meat as their parents?!


Question: Why are teenagers not eating as much meat as their parents!?
Studies have shown that more and more kids are becoming vegetarian!.

Has anyone noticed this!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes, because many parents have been inculcated to eat both flesh and plants in order to be healthy!. What was once hidden from everyone's eyes is now boiled down to an inescapable fact: Dismembered body parts are not part of a healthy diet, neither is the pus that is excreted from cow's udders!. You are more likely to find sheep than you are to find outside-the-box thinkers!. This is why you are more likely to find carcass eaters than you are to find healthy people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because more teenagers care about animals!.
Then you find some who only go vegetarian because the members in their favourite band did!. At least that's what some people I know did!. Then some others just follow suit, like sheep!. But then some teenagers go vegetarian for real reasons, like the environment, health issues or animal rights!.
One thing about vegetarian teenagers is that quite a few of them fall off the vegetarian wagon!.

I went vegetarian for the animals =DWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. I think it's because as time goes on and more research is done showing the negative effects that meat, dairy, and egg have on our bodies more people are choosing not to eat them!. I think that it's more kids and teens because, like with new technology, generally older people seem to be stuck in their ways and are least likely to change!. Just my opinionWww@FoodAQ@Com

yes i have!. i think its because there is a major attempt at a green movement now!. also much more is public!. back in the day it wasn't so open about the animal abuse that goes on behind the burger!. There are also so many studies that show you hardly need that much protein to be healthy, as my bio teahcer says, "only 5% of your diet is protein and you pee out the rest!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

bc we r the new generation and the generation that doesnt want to harm animals
i personally hate eating meat but my parents make me so what can i do!?
your generation was raised different then ours
bc in ours we r more worried about the enviroment and global warming and animals are part of thisWww@FoodAQ@Com

yes b/c we are now realizing all the health risks associated with eating meat!. so the younger generation is going to change this by becoming vegetarian!.

+not everyone watches those sad videos of animals dying!.
No thanks! I know it happens!Www@FoodAQ@Com

What I've noticed is that the incidence of vegetarianism is increasing in line with the increase in population!. The total is increasing but not the %!. Do you have a link to verify your assertion and please don't bother with a vege site!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

They realize it's bad for the world!. Honestly, I don't care about the animals suffering or "protein excess" is bad for the body; I just can't make my self eat meat when there are starving people in the world!. Very wasteful!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because their parents are from the olden days when meat made you big and strong!. I just became a pescetarian(almost vegetarian but I eat fish too)

When I go to college I will certainly go Vegetarian!. I want to be healthy and live long!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have yes, many of my friends have been turning vegetarian!. Surprisingly they have all been girls!. All us lads love the MacDonalds and Steaks!

I don't know why because i wouldn't be able to live with out meat!Www@FoodAQ@Com

A lot of teens eat less meat not because they care about animals and stuff enough to become a vegetarian or vegan but simply because people are realizing it's healthier and can make you live longer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Kids aren't as jaded as adults!. They see that they can still make a difference; or, if they can't, they can sure as hell try to anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes I've noticed and it's because American kids are now better informed about dietary habit and parents have formed habits that come from a less informed generation!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I love meat!. I'd die before I became a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
