[QUOTE="WoundedImmortal, post: 24358471, member: 150361"] I stopped eating meat when I was just 10 years old, and I am the only vegetarian in my entire family-both sides. For me, it didn't have anything to do with animal rights. At the time, I didn't have much of an understanding of that. All I knew was when I ate meat, I became physically ill. Most of the times I would literally vomit after eating a hamburger. Dairy products did me in too. I wasnt the one rejecting the meat, my body was. But still...my parents forced meat on me. Vegetarian diets were in their eyes, unorthodox and unhealthy. There was a time when I stopped eating completely because I knew that the food they were feeding me would make me sick. I tried to hide it by spiting out food in a napkin when no one was looking, but everyone knew I'd stopped eating. I knew and accepted that it was the meat and dairy that made me ill, but it was my parents that would not. At ten years old I researched vegetarian diet alternatives and health benefits, borrowed a vegetarian cookbook from one of the teachers. i presented the information to my parents-they thought it was a phase at first, but were relieved that I would eat if they bought me this food. I learned to cook on my own and prepared my own meals because my mother constantly complained about having to make something separate. I'm 22 now, and they are still waiting for the "phase" to end ;) [/QUOTE]
