Why does my mother try?!

Some parents think a vegetarian diet is unhealthy that you need meat so it seems she is trying to persuade you to eat meat again by offering your favorite foods...

My Ex-Fiance always went vegetarian after a few years of dating and within a few weeks her mother was also trying to do the same thing. I believe its along the lines of the parent does not understand or it could be they do not like the idea of their kid becoming a vegetarian. Her mother said this when she decided to become a vegetarian, "None of my kids will become a Vegetarian nor become Gay". So maybe you need to discuss with your mom what she is currently thinking about your decision.

Why is your mother, the person who is supposed to love and nurture you, trying to stuff you with cholesterol and fat ridden carcinogenic foods? What is wrong with her? Even if you were eating meat, you should not go to fast food, or as I call it fat food, places more than once a month. You can show her this. She needs to know that she's being a bad mother and a bad person.

Because she is concerned that you may not be getting proper nutrition. Show her that you are indeed getting enough protein, all the vitamins ad trace nutritants. If you do this then perhaps she'll ease off on trying to get you to eat meat. And btw, the Burger King where I live sells vegan burgers. Not sure about the one's you list there, but I'm sure some other ones do to. So next time she offers you fast food, don't turn it down immediately, just get a salad.

It happens to a lot of new veggies, just politely decline, and she will get used to it. Lot's of the people in my family started eating more vegetarian items (without becoming veggie) when they saw I wasn't just eating lettuce LOL. They are supportive now :)

I don't really know you're family, but I'm willing to bet your mother loves you.

My mom was the same way. She stopped after a few months because I proved I was committed, but up until then she would always try to slip me foods I don't eat. I don't know why she did it, but I guess she just thought I wasn't serious.

She doesn't understand what you are doing to your diet, and she loves you. Just be polite and say, "No, thank you" to her offers. She'll get used to it.

hmm i dunno i guess she wants you to be fat and unhealthy.
