Sure. I don't think I'm old at all. lol but a lot of teens seem to think I am. Whatever!!?? LOL
I worked as a cashier last summer with a bunch of 18 -22 year olds. They thought I was their age and when I told them they said, "OMG I didn't know you were THAT old!!!" It's only like 6 years off.

By the way, if you where wondering, I'm 14

I knew you were in school still. You seem pretty mature for 14. I'd have guess around 17 or 18 I think.
This is the only point in our lives that you will be half my age.

I love it! Wow we have very similair beleifs on things yet our ages are soo different. That's really an interesting thought.
I think we hijacked this thread.

Oh well, this thread probably wasn't going down a very good path.
Forgot to tell you that I've been veg for five years as of May this year. I think. Maybe June.

I've been a vegetarian for 3 yrs and about 4 months I beleive. I tried to be a vegetarian before that on and off. I kept giving in to things like ribs but after a bit more reasearch I finaly decided that I wasn't going to eat meat for good.Did you become vegetarian with one try? (The way I worded that makes it sound funny
)I went vegan with one try! And stayed vegan for about a year. But then I was in japan and couldn't read anything. It was easier to point at a caesar salad on the menu then try and ask what some other things were. Plus one of my favourite places had these great little fried cheese balls. When I came back I went vegan again for about 8 months but then I went to Chile... Now I go through 'vegan' spells but I don't call myself that because I know I'll fall off the cheese wagon again.

Like cheese, bread, milk, or anything that came from animals right?
Can you be healthy as a vegan? Do you have to take supplements?
I'm just curious cause someday I think I might go vegan because of the way they treat dairy cows, chickens, etc., but right now my parents have barely got past the fact that I'm vegetarian.
Yeah, vegan is no animal products. The things you'll miss the most are dairy. Some vegans still eat honey and some don't. It's just personal choice.
Vitamin B12 is the only thing that is really hard to get in the vegan diet. You have to eat fermented foods like miso, tempeh, ... some people say that seaweeds have some of it. You don't need a lot of B12. You can take supplements for it if you are worried. Your body also stores it for a long time so if you aren't getting enough it will take awhile to show signs.
If you come from a family that eats a lot of meat and dairy you will probably have to totally rethink how you eat and plan your meals until you get used to it. Do your research first! I'm quite serious about that. French fries are not a great vegetarian food.
Oh yeah, soy milk is usually fortified with B12 too and the chocolate or vanilla stuff is pretty good. Just find a brand that you like.
www.vegansociety.com has some good information and if you want to evaluate the food that you are eating try www.fitday.com it is free. Each day you log in what you eat and find out if you are meeting your requirements for the day/week. I don't think it's completely accurate. Every BODY is different and different nutrients work together (or against each other) for assimilation. But it's a good general guidelines. Look up chickpeas and lentils for amounts of iron and calcium. You might be surprised. And look up multi-grain toast for protein. Add some peanut butter to that and you have a nice complementary protein.

They are BIG meat eaters and just don't understand me being vegetarian, but they go along with it. At first they thought it was just a phase I was going through
Now they realize I'm serious/passionate about this.Thanks for the info. I'm going to put it in my favorites so I can do some reading.
There is something you can do about this. I am part of an organisation called "animals asia". We are making very significant progress in china, where dog eating is completely legal. We are doing this through various programs, such as "Doctor dog", which is basically pet therapy in hospitals, and "professor paws" which is dogs in class rooms helping children to learn about animals. We have over three hundred therapy dogs working in china at the moment. You can help stop this!
You can donate, every cent goes to helping these poor animals.
Also, in china, rabies is rampant. Many chinese fear and loathe dogs becuase alot of dogs in asia have rabies. We are also working on offering rabies vaccines for dogs.
If anyone doesn't believe, i have photos.
As dog lovers every one of us should contribute to this cause.
In a year or two my collie thorn and i will travel to china to participate, i will donate my life to this cause.

it si disgusting, but no more than done to other "consumable" animals. Thats why I went vegetarian, its all just so gross. Event if you kill them "humanley" an animal still lost it's life.

I lived in S.korea for 9 yrs.
When you go to a restaruant in a street, about 30% of the street restaurants have dog meat in the menu.
YUKKKKKKKK!! [i've never even thought about eating one.]
they should be ashamed..
and in a street where you can see lots of things, they kill dogs for dog meat in the street so you can see the fukin dog-eaters kill the dogs.
