Answers:
Talk to her more!. Educate her!. Find out all her reasons!. She is probably concerned about buying some pricier ingredients like soy milk or things like that which she isn't buying for the rest of the family!. Offer to contribute to the weekly grocery bill for these "extras!."

When you are talking to her, make sure thats her only reason!. Sounds like she could have another reason!. Maybe she is worried about your health or getting protein!.

Educate her, run some articles off the internet and teach her!. ;)Www@FoodAQ@Com

lets compare prices shall we!?

gallon of milk $4
1 lb of ground meat $4
dozen eggs $2

1 gallon of soymilk $3
bag of fresh produce apx $5
1lb of tofu $2
1lb of rice $2

I think its pretty obvious that its cheaper, or even the same price!. Maybe she is afraid you wont get proper nutrition bla bla!.!.!.Show her that it is possible to be a healthy vegan!. Maybe she does not want to cook 2 different meals!. Learn how to cook a few for yourself, she will appreciate it :-) Sit down and have a serious talk about why you are doing it!. Make sure she understands it completely!. Good Luck

If you rely on your mom to provide for you, then I don't see how you could have any issue with what she says!. Get a job, buy, cook, and clean up after yourself and I bet your mom will let you!. If you aren't committed enough to get a job for your deviant lifestyle then how do you expect to be committed enough to stay vegan!?

Why so serious - Not sure where you buy your soy milk, but at my local grocery stores it runs $4 for half a gallon!.!.!.!. I find it hard to believe that it would be $3 for a whole gallon anywhere!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My mom has the same issue!.

Unfortunately, you either need to get a job and buy your own food, or only eat vegan when you are not home/eating out and just settle for eating vegetarian when at home!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's actually cheaper!.

Meats are more expensive, unless you go to Whole Foods!.

Whole Foods have good quality veggies

but they're prices are just mad!.

More like Whole Pay Check!Www@FoodAQ@Com

i want to be a vegetarian but my mom won't let!.!.!. she says that it isn't healthy for someone like me!.!.!.
