Good Job! Mom and Dad should be very

proud of you! I've eliminated all meat from

my diet I won't support an industry that is

cruel to animals. I wish I would of gone

meatless years ago. My two daughters

are almost meat free it takes time. Keep

up the good work, mom and dad need to

follow your lead. Your a wise young lady.

lol!

@xFaruzx I think its hilarious that meat eaters are "concerned" about the health of vegetarians yet its the meat eaters are the ones who are getting sick and becoming obese!

Oh wow big deal, she's vegetarian. Waste of youtube to be honest. I'm also vegetarian, but it is no big deal; anyone can do it.

@Paradotical

I respect your views, but I don't understand how you could say you love animals, yet support an industry that is constantly compromising their welfare for increased profit, forcing them to live in more and more cruel, filthy and unnatural conditions - I don't know about you but I wouldn't want that for something I love...

Then your meat should cost about 50$/kg. Varying not a lot from country to country.

Proud of you! ;)

A lot of scare mongering in this video....reporting is clearly done by meat eaters.

Its presented as if being a vegetarian can be risky and you will be deficient in certain nutrients....but the same applies to meat eaters. Meat contains very little nutrional value, and you'd die if you just ate meat on its own....where as vegetarians and vegans live on average longer and healthier lives.

The mother is totally lacking in culinary creativity as well.

@emlerron I only buy meat from farms that have the best conditions for the animals.

I'm the only vegetarian in my entire family, and I have NO drama like that in it. My parents are proud of me for making a good decision and don't get "annoyed" by it at all.

No need for drama. Just cook a veggie meal and the meat eaters can add their roasted chicken or steak and have veggies on the side. Not a big deal. I usually cook up enough veggies for all day and either eat them on top of rice (rice cooker makes it super easy) or roll it up in a wheat or spinach tortilla.
