When is a good age to be a vegetarian?

I hate the idea of eating poor animal, and it's also given me a nice glow and good looking skin, but I'm starting to think it's not such a good idea to be vegetarian at my age (13).



Should I stay vegetarian or eat meat (2-3 times a week perhaps)?

It's really hard but I'm very determined to stay vegetarian.

I just don't think eating meat is right. Or healthy. And besides, it's disgusting.

I'm just so confused on what I should do. I would honestly go vegan if I could.



What is your opinion and what do you think are the pros and cons?When is a good age to be a vegetarian?
I became a vegetarian when I was nine years old. I also have friends who became vegetarians as young as 2nd and 3rd grade and we're all healthy. It's important to research nutrition for vegetarians. As soon as I became a vegetarian I went out and bought a book about healthy vegetarian eating, which was very helpful and gave me some great ideas of good things to eat.

The nutrients that are harder to get as a vegetarian are vitamin b-complex, iron, and protein. You can get iron from green leafy vegetables, or take a supplement. (But your body won't absorb all of it because spinach contains oxalic acid which inhibits iron absorbtion.)

I'd recommend taking a multivitamin for vegetarians, you can find them at your local health food store. Tofu, beans, nuts and egg whites are all good sources of protein.

So overall, I think being a vegetarian at your age is fine, as long as you're informed and healthy about it. Good luck!

ive been vegetarian since january and i was 13 then.. im 14 now

it doesnt really matter when you become vegetarian

it is better for you

just make sure you get enough protien from other non-meat sources

good luck!
Being vegan is good when you are young and hippie-like. When you get older you'll be far too practical.

Hahaha

As far as health, you should have no problems! Just be sure to get lots of protein from other sources, e.g. tofu, beans, nuts, milk %26amp; eggs (if you choose to eat them).



EDIT: also iron, make sure to get lots of that. Good sources are spinach, enriched pasta with tomato sauce, etcWhen is a good age to be a vegetarian?
no age is a good age consume meat
You'll be healthier if you eat meat. You need the fat and protein contained in it. A good well balanced diet of vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat is the healthiest way to go.
So it not good to kill animals but okay to kill plants?

People's DNA makes us all carnivores.

Being a vegetarian is more so a fashion statement.
everything has protein not just meat
I became a vegitarian when i was 8. [6 years ago.]



i felt WAY sick at first,



because if your taking protien out of your diet, you have to eat eggs, nuts, or other sources of protien....



but Now i feel GREAT, better then anyone of my meat eating friends.



goodluck.
well i think you should start out by not eating fish at all. then go to eating meat 3 then 2 then once a week. then not at all but u need protein. try to eat beans once a week and get used to eating tofu. also i'd suggest protein supplements (pills)
i would say 15 or 16 then you can have a bit of freedom from the parents and i would start by not eating red meat (pork steak hamburger) for like a year then see if you like it

the pros are you can feel ood abouy what your eating but the big con is there is alot less to eat
i have been a vegetarian all my life since the day i was born i have never ate meat and im 17 and my parents haven't ate meat either ,and they are like in their 40's and of course i have problems when i go to restaurants but i have never starved so i think u will be just fine and its good u starting at a young age b/c when u grow its gonna be more difficult b/c u are gonna taste more food that are not vegetarian,and it has been proven fact that vegetarians live longer then the ones who eat meat.
i totaly agree, i hate to think of the animals being tortured and stuff



my friend became a vegetarian at age 12
yes its great to be a vegitarian as long as you eat the right things and keep yourself healthy
