Answer 1

This site has a vegetarian food pyramid: www.gettinglean.com/veg.htm

This site is also good: www.vegsource.com

Just show her that you've done research and you know what you're doing, and I'm sure she'll see there's nothing wrong with it and hopefully, she'll let you be veg again :]

Answer 2

I, quite honestly, understand that your mother made you stop. Just taking vitamins can't get you everything that meat can. For instance, the fat. Everybody who DOES eat meat chops it off, but it is good to have a bit of it.
Also, think about WHY you are a vegetarian. Why is it that you decided to take this route in your life? I understand that you want to make the world a better place and not slaughter as many animals and such, but, then there would be an over population and no way to deal with it because none of them could die. It's the same thing with hunting. My friends who hunt tell me that they do not hunt for the prizes, but honestly to help. Because, if all the deer that were killed still existed, then there wouldn't be enough food to go around and starvation would occur. So think it over, and reason with your mother. Please.

Answer 3

Parents worry Here are some things that might help
1) talk to the family doctor, get him to explain that you can be vegetarian and healthy
2) don't make a fuss at dinner time, it is also family time. Eat around the meat and don't mention it. No body will notice unless they are looking for it
3) offer to make dinner once a week and find good recipes that no one will know is meatless (cheese enchiladas, Portobella mushroom fajitas, chili made with veggie crumbles)

try this and hopefully mom will come around

Answer 4

There are good books about the health benefits of Vegetarianism. I think I remember one called "Diet for a Small Planet."
Also, do you prepare your own meals? If you insist that she prepares all your vegetarian foods for you, it might be too exhausting for her.

Answer 5

Just say your digestion will not take meat, it makes you feel sick to eat it after knowing how the animal lives and dies. Also all the germs and diseases you can get from meat nowadays.

Answer 6

Well i mean you have to let your mom know that being a vegetarian doesn't mean that your going to starve,um
you still eat healthy fruits, vegetables and other things that are good for you!

Answer 7

Your dentition and digestion evolved over millenia to be omnivorous. Why are you chosing vegetarian? Is it for humanitarian reasons, that you want to anthropomorphize other creatures?

When you are adult and make your own choices, you get to be whatever you want. If your mom don't want you to have vitamin deficiencies while under her roof, so be it. The parents get to be the boss until the child has left home.
