Reply from Lauren, Age 15 - 10/06/05 - IP#: 82.3.32.xxx nikki - well you arent a proper vegetarian then are you if you eat chicken! vegetarians eat no meat whatso ever and only some veggies eat types of fish. anways meat is important because u need protein for grownth and repair and also many veggies suffer from iron deficiencies es it may be healthier but there are more things that go wrong because your immune systems are weakened!
Reply from nikki, Age 17 - 10/05/05 - IP#: 24.141.43.xxx im also vegi. but i find that if u can eat it u shouuld. its alot leaner than the other choices u make. example. chicken and potatoes for dinner (or fries) you grab just the fries right? well i did. and i put on some weight and kinda blame it on that. lol. umm also meat is good for u. i still cant eat anything other than chicken but i eat alot of that stuff and its helping. goodluck!

You can get the nutritional contents from other foods and/or supplements, without all the extra fat and other crap. Vegetarians are GENERALLY healthier than meat eaters. Also, from my stand point, you don't need to defend your choice to be a vegetarian. It's a personal decision, that nobody else should try to enfluence.

Reply from Julie, Age 17 - 10/04/05 - IP#: 4.242.171.xxx Yeah, bring your lunch to school. Pack it the night before if you have to. I'm also a vegetarian. You can get fake sandwich meat, and it's really good. Some even taste like real meat, if you like that. I usually have for lunch: half sandwich on whole wheat, an apple and some sort of granola bar (usually between 100-150 calories).
Reply from *Celeste*, Age 13 - 10/04/05 - IP#: 24.247.21.xxx cream cheese i fattening so if you can, switch to low fat. Also, you could bring your lunch to school. The fruit is good though to eat so if you forget your lunch, make sure you at least eat that. You did a good job otherwise, although you should probably eat more. Good luck! *Celeste*
