What should I eat while im a vegetarian?
I am 14 years old and I have just now realized how horriable animals are treated for food. My parents are ok with me not eating meat, but almost every night we have some kind of meat proudct and 2 other side dishes. I can't survive on maccaroni and french fries alone, so what are some easy, somewhat fast vegan meals that I can prepare for myself?
I only want to be a lacto-ova-vegan(?) its the one where I don't eat fish or meat.
Answers:
1: Vegans are people who do not eat Milk, Eggs, Fish, Poultry, or Red meat.. >_>
and its Lacto-Ovo. [: !
I'm a lacto ovo, too.
Things you could ask your parents to buy, not only for you, But for the good of your whole family:
Vegetables: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots, Spinach, things of that sort.
Fruits: tomatoes, Raisins, Grapes, Cranberries, Apples, Oranges,
I buy blueberries and Raspberries often. [:
Peanuts, Almonds, Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Cashews,
Things like that.
You're right,
You can't survive on Macaroni and Cheese, Or french fries for the rest of your life.
you need Vitamin B12, Protein, Iron, Calcium, and things of that sort.
Tofu, veggie burgers, and things of that sort (Soya Products) are a GREAT source of protein!
Soy milk has B12 in it.
(You NEED to get these nutrients)
If you want Omega-3 (Found in Fish),
you can get it with FlaxSeed Cookies
(Sold at Walmart + Shoprite)
I havent tried them yet, But they look absolutely delicious. [:
People swear by them!

Good luck in your new journey to Vegetarianism.
peace and love !
