The Hallelujah Diet is being used by hundreds and thousands of people around the world to accomplish what our present day medical system cannot!. People are getting well from a wide array of disorders!. In fact the Hallelujah Diet has been so successful that is was recently adopted by the successful Oasis of Hope hospital!. Why!? You've probably heard the saying "God chose the simple things to confound the wise"!. You can't get any simpler than the Hallelujah Diet!. God didn't create our bodies to run on drugs or artificial, over processed and over cooked foods!. Look at what God created us to eat, feed it to your body for several months, get a little exercise and you will be amazed at the difference!. It is time to stop fighting the symptoms and change what we eat! There recently was a news report on TV on a large study that proved that folks in the 60's and older benefit more from fresh fruits and vegetables than they do from vitamins!. Amazing, perhaps they'll prove that God was right after all!.!.!.!.
I think that being vegan is quite similar to this diet in that you are leading a healthy lifestyle!.

Tell him exactly why you want to go vegetarian, if it is for the animals you could show him a video like Meet Your Meat!. also, do some research on it's health benefits to show him that it is healthy!. Tell him that it is nothing against him or anyone and that it is something that is very important to you!. Good luck:)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Offer to move out and get a job, and pay for your own vegetarian food, and cook it yourself too!.
If you are that serious about being vegetarian you will do it!.
otherwise, you are just a fraud!.
how about thinking of someone besides yourself for once!? did you ever think for 4 seconds that maybe the last thing your hard working mom and dad want to do is cater to a child like you who is constantly changing her mind!? Show a little initiative !.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I just watch her foods!.!.!.!.making sure she gets enough protein and vitamins!. No problemWww@FoodAQ@Com
Hank Hill is a real jerk!.!.!.
But anyway, the suggested meal plans are a great idea!. My daughter became a veg when she was 11!. I thought she was nuts!. It annoyed me in fact! But, she told me her reasons, stuck to her guns, showed me her peta info and eventually I supported her!.
Then, a few months later to ensure she got proper nutrition I made her meals!. Then, I got sick of making separate meals!. You know what came next right!? Yep, I've been a proud veg for many years now myself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
