Hi
I can only eat chicken and every time I try to eat a different kind of meat I got sick. I haven't ate meat since 4 years and my family is beginning to put pressure on me to eat meat. What can I do? I really want to be able to eat meat again because it's very annoying when I eat with my friends...
Thanks for your help.

There are other variety of food that will supply your body's need of protein. Fish, eggs, chicken meat and green milk are some sources of protein. If you dont have any medical problem regarding consumption of pork or beef, then it is best that you try eating pork and beef once a week because they are major sources of protein that helps you rebuild and repair muscle tissues that vegetables and fruits cant provide ;)

Hi friend, I dont think it is a so serious problem!! You can convince your parents about friends and in fact vegetarian food is good for body and soul!! Enjoy yourself being a vegetarian

I am vegetarian for 15 years and nobody puts pressure on me. In fact I can not imagine to eat meat again.
There is not benefit from meat at all.
Are you missing meat? Why?

Hey polachicago
To be honest, I do sometime miss meat because when I hang out with my friends and we have lunch, I don't always feel confortable.
For example, few week ago, my friends wanted to eat in a Steak House Restaurant but they couldn't, though I say I would be ok, they wouldn't go in this restaurant because they though I wouldn't eat...
And sometimes it seems so simple to eat meat you know, it's quick to cook.
The only thing I like about being vegetarian is that I don't get fat... :)
You say you're a vegetarian for 15 polachicago but do you have children ? I don't but I hope I will like meat again when I will have children because I don't think I would cook a lot of meat if I can eat it... ?
Thanks for the response anyway, and have a good day !

My daughter is vegan. I don't eat meat because I don't want to eat my friends....I consider myself to be animal liberation activist...

Oh ok well you're not wrong but do you eat fish and eggs or you don't eat anything which result of animals ? Hmm I'm not sure you will understand my question but I can't find the right words... :(
Anyway how old is your daugther if that is not too private ?

You are an eccentric,what is an eccentric?The one who insists being himself regardless of others opinions,if he doesn't hurt that.

Hey aeschylus
Thanks for the support, I don't think I'm an eccentric because I didn't choose to be a vegetarian (well I'm not really a vegetarian because I still like chicken... anyway) , I just can't eat pork, beef etc... and if I try to eat theses, I get sick. So I'm not sure this mean that I insists being myself regardless of others opinions ^^
What about you ? Are you a vegetarian ?

This is very easy, just start with small portions, cut them up really good and mix them through your other food. For instance when using a wok, you can mix it in with all the vegetables etc, that way you will not even taste the meat, and you will still be eating it.
On the other hand I don't really understand why your family is pressuring you to eat meat. If you don't it is your choice isn't it?

I am having some health problems from it myself. Chicken is fine for me. As a matter of fact, I am almost vegetarian. In the long run it may be healthier. I'd rather be healthier. Live longer etc. I'd just explain it to your friends. Just makes eating out a bit tricky. Makes you plan better.

Same here, I can only eat chicken. And now, it is christmas in less than a week, we are going to eat a lot of "good things" and I won't be able to enjoy theses things because it makes me feel sick. Lol, it's depressing...
Anyway, thanks for the response, I hope you will be fine with your health problems.
