@amy2x I am vegetarian because I feel bad for animals.

@JesusonlyYou1 Its the same thing if you compare it to humans. If so, why don't you eat other humans?

This lady seems really dumb. DO NOT follow her advice.

I can't watch the animals suffer just for my desire to taste meat. I mean, I'm healthy with my vegetarian diet, and for those that think that I'm weak and not able to fight etc, um...no I'm pretty strong.

What if I crave drugs. Does she mean that its ok and have whatever I crave?

I think her point of view might be a little off

@AviatorStudios Blood test is only way to be totally sure you are getting enough protein but eating enough protein should be good enough. Eggs are good protein source. Total Vegetarians will not eat eggs. Eat them if that does not bother you. Beans and nuts are excellent protein sources. You can search on Google for good protein sources. You should also take a good multivitamin because you will not be getting enough iron.

@amy2x I am 14. I have only been a vegetarian for a week so far. Are there any ways I can check myself?

@AviatorStudios Please have your doctor test your Protein levels in blood. Lab will withdraw a vial of blood for the test. This will tell you if you are getting enough protein. You can adjust your diet based on result. You can get enough Protein from non animal source. Many don't get enough. Children suffer if Parents deprive them of enough protein.
