How do i convince my dad its a good thing to be a vegetarian?!
i last month i became a vegetarian because i think its wrong to eat animals!. ive always wanted to be one but my parents dont agree!. Since i have my mom has been really supportive, but my dad hates it!. He says that they dont abuse the animals because that makes the meat tough and that they wouldnt do that if they wanted to sell it!. I dont agree with it, how do i convince him that they DO abuse animals!? And how do i convince him its better not eating animals!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Meet your meat!. Maybe having him watch some PETA videos will change his mind about the cruelty of animals as they are being fattened for slaughter!. I personally don't have a strong enough stomach to watch those videos!. they make me cry, but I'm sure you can at least convince him that they do torture animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think this depends on what age your Dad is!. Because at one time families didn't eat much meat for the simple reason that it was considered expensive!.
And eventually as things got better families were able to get to buy meat more often!. They enjoyed it and also thought it was good for them because of the protein!. So if your Dad is of that mind set he will think nothing of eating meat!. You could show him some of your literature and get him to at least cut down the amount gradually!. But remember one week without meat makes one weak!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe a better way to convince your dad to see your side is to assure him that you will be HEALTHY while eating a vegetarian diet!. I suspect his concern is more for you than the animals!.
My son has tried being a vegetarian, and we really focused on the protein - you can get carbs, veggies and fruit any time - but you need protein! Tofu, soy beans,soy milk, beans (canned and dried), dairy (unless you go vegan - you can have cheese, milk, ice cream etc), and eggs!.
Make a meal plan for yourself (Yes, on paper) showing that you are getting your protein, carbohydrates, fruit, veggies etc!.!. each and every day!. If you don't research vegetarianism and all that you need to do to eat properly you can put your health at risk!.
If you are serious, then do your homework and your dad will support you!. It can be a very healthy way to live, but YOU have to be the one in charge of your diet/menu and your health!
I want to add that my son's venture was short lived!.!.!. bacon was his downfall!.!.!. and wings, and tacos, and speghetti sauce, and flank steak, and prime rib roast, and tarragon chicken!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

show him earthlings part 2 on video!.google!.com
remember 80 percent of cows are raised the way they show in the video!. and 80 million out of 95 million pigs are raised this way
remember to talk to him in a calm voice if you want to win him over!. even though his responses may make you angry, stay calm!.
here is one reason:
Animal agriculture routinely mutilates farm animals for its own convenience!. Animals are branded or ear-notched for identification!. They are debeaked or tail-docked to reduce the effects of stressed-out violence between them!. Calves and piglets are castrated for other economic reasons (see #23)!. And, perhaps the most abhorrent, boar bashing is also utilized!. Justification!? Boars with broken noses are less likely to fight!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

your father is wrong!. as a matter of fact they dont fully stun pigs and cows bc that would damage the meat, so when they are slaughtered they are fully aware of what is happening to them!. dont try to change your fathers opinion, its as likely as him changing yours!. just do what you do and learn as much as you can and when you become gloriously healthy and more confident in your better lifestyle then hell begin to listen!.
