My parents won't let me become a vegetarian because apparently we were meant to eat meat

Why do they say this?

Do you mean they just refuse to cook you vegetarian meals? If so, try making your own food. A friend of mine has always done that, and it works for her.

If they disagree totally, then have a word with them to explain exactly why you don't like eating meat. They should respect your opinion even if they don't agree with it.

jk. It really depends on your parent's character. If they are overprotective and u are too young i don't think u'll ever convience them. Although I suppose u could follow the harsh way...

They could say that we have features of meat eaters such as teeth, eyes are facing forward etc. but then if they were to really stick to their word then they shouldn't eat any vegetables at all if we were really carnivores.

If your gonna be a veggie, then stick to it purely because you want to. I agree with your parents saying that we are supposed to have meat in our diet- but there is no law that states this, so go ahead and do it.

Look, about the "Eating meat" subject there are some cases that vegetables do not provide enough energy to the homan body. Sure all u guys have to do is studing and it does not require a lot of energy resources, so many of u can skip meat, but there are some ppl who really need that level of the food pyramid.

i read somewhere that the current level of humans on the planet wouldnt be sustainable if they ate only meat as the process between the levels is too inefficient. ie a lot of the energy is lost through when say for example, a cow eats some grass and then a human eats the cow as there are certain things humans cant digest

not saying that we should eat grass but hopefully you can get my meaning from what i just said. if you cant then im not surprised as reading it over, it largely makes no sense

The point is that we're carnivores! ie. meant to eat meat AND vegetables...
