Answers:
Vegetarianism is the only natural way of eating for humans

There are clear anatomical, physiological and psychological evidences of that!.

Structure of digestive organs and composition of digestive secrets of human body is the best to acquire plant food, namely fruits including fruits themselves, vegetables, nuts, and grains!.

You can see detailed info in the Plant Eaters Or Meat Eaters web page!.

Saying figuratively, human being is designed to consume fruits!.

However, the main evidence pro vegetarianism is its pleasantness and simplicity when it is right!. Please let me explain what is right vegetarianism!.

2!. Being vegetarian presents currently a big difficulty

Since vegetarian diet is the most suitable human being, it ought to be pleasant, easy and joyful for us!. However, people who try to transit to vegetarianism experience big difficulties instead!. Several days of strict vegetarian diet would surely wake up a hungry beast of prey within you!.

Many famous people failed in adherence to vegetarianism and appeared later to be not vegetarian - despite reports!.

However, even people who currently reckon themselves as vegetarians are not such in the original sense of that word!. In point of fact, there is no true vegetarianism among varied present lifestyles called vegetarian!.

This means that something is wrong with vegetarianism at present!.

3!. What is amiss in the present vegetarianism!?

Thus, we see that lifestyles pretending to be vegetarian are not natural contrary to the expectations!. Their followers have to take pills or some kinds of animal food mainly because of principal absence of vitamin B12 in usual plant foods!.

However, the problem can be easily solved in full accordance with the basic vegetarian principles!.

The matter is that vitamin B12 missing in plant food appears within fruits as a result of fermentation after they come off their mother plant mature, or cutting off and following long-term lying in a warm place!.

The fermentation occurs owing to activity of good microflora (community of microorganisms) that naturally lives within fruits!. Remember how nice are slightly overripe fruits (bananas, kiwis, pears, for example)!. The nice taste of such fruits accords to their benefits! Our feelings do not mislead us!

But usually such fruits are treated as refuse!. Really, they are perishable, and quickly turn bad!.

However, just such fruits should be eaten!. And just consumption of such fruits (or their substitutes - see further) makes vegetarianism in true sense of the word possible and allows us to reject any animal food and artificial supplements!. You just experience no wish for animal food if you consume overripe fruits!.

Besides production of vitamin B12, good microflora destroys some specific substances within fruits (phytates)!. Those substances prevent absorption of essential minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc etc!. - another common problem of the present vegetarianism that is currently solved by means of supplements!. Maybe this microflora improves fruits in some other ways too!.

In a wonderful way, this way of eating corresponds to the basic principle of vegetarianism that tells us not to injure any living creature!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes vegetarians check packages for gelatin!. No, we don't eat marshmallows, unless they are vegetarian marshmallows!. (Made with something called agar, instead of gelatin!.)

Morningstar Farms Grillers do not contain any nuts, nor do Boca Burgers!.

The only burgers I've ever seen with chestnuts had water chestnuts- which aren't nuts at all but rather corms, or swollen plant stems- so you can eat them!.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has a Vegetarian Starter Kit which should answer most of your nutrition questions-

I'm no doctor, but I think you can probably do it!.
There are plenty of vegetarian foods out there that might not have nuts like veggie dogs, veggie chik'n patties and nuggets, etc!.!.!. You can eat marshmallows!. also milk, rice milk, soy milk to get protein along with beans!. Try a whole wheat wrap with a hummus, veggies and soy or regular cheese!. This stuff called tempeh made from soy has a TON of protein and can be used in like stir fries or scrambled with eggs and a million other things!. Good luck and stay healthy :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think you can eat marshmallows, depends whetehr you are vegitarian or vegan!. Vegans dont eat any products that come from animals such as cheese or milk!.

All i know is that vegitarians eat vegatables and fruits!. A really good vegitarian food that you can eat is TOFU!. it has a lot of the nutrients that you can find in meat, but its not meat!.

i hope that helped!. goodluck with the whole thing!. i tried being vegitarian too, buh all my mum makes is meaty foods, so i gave up! =]Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not going to give you a really long answer to this question because if you search old questions you'll find the answer to this one a thousand times!.
But yes, vegetarians would check packets for gelatin- gelatin is an animal product and therefore vegetarians do not eat anything that contains gelatin!. This includes marshmallows!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You may also find that abstaining from meat for a while cures your nut allergy!.

How did your parents "make" you eat a hamburger!? I can't make my 6 year old eat anything he doesn't want!. He just won't chew it!. Show your parents the video at www!.meat!.org and ask them to respect your wishes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

its not too hard!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Allergic to nuts and going veg!? Not a real smart idea!. Nuts make up a large part of the protein you need for a growing body such as your own!. Vegans don't eat marshmallows or gelatin!. They are fanatics about it!. Veg heads aren't so much!.

You need to do research, and a lot of it!. You can't live on veggies alone at your age!. You need fresh fruits, breads and loads of protein to help your body grow!.

Since your family is against it and you obviously don't have a job to buy your own food, you are really limited to what you can eat!. I don't suggest doing it on in a rotten economy anyway!. It's more expensive as well as hard to do!.

I did it for two years when I was 18 and got really sick from lack of protein because I didn't eat right!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
