World is nicer to vegetarians but still you may buy here vegetarian pizza with... chicken O_o
*snerk* I'm not surprised, really. I love the people who say, "Oh, you're a vegetarian? I'm a vegetarian too! But I do eat meat sometimes...."
Then you're not exactly a vegetarian....
I'm the worst vegetarian ever, I exist on cookies and chocolate.
Add cheese to the list and you'd be my sister! (Who is also a vegetarian.) *hides from ssotknapsack*
I didn't know that you were veggie, btw. Yay! Here I'd thought that my sister was the only veggie on my flist!
I also "converted" at age 12, and my mom also had concerns about my age and nutrients and all that. I did my research, though, and remember going to her with the World Book Encyclopedia in hand and an article saying that meat contained no nutrients that couldn't be derived from vegetarian sources. Since I'd done my research--flimsy as it seems now--she let me try it out, and I've never looked back.
But even then, there was lots of misinformation about having to "match" proteins and all that, so I can understand your parents' fears.
They left abroad today and I promised again that I'll be cooking for myself. I really should, I make jokes from that but it's not funny.
Yes, I tend to be the same way. Teh Hubby is going to Los Angeles for a week in early June, and I've had to make plans to visit my parents frequently to make sure that I eat. I'm prone to skipping meals at work, where I must feed myself. (Hubby does the meal-cooking at home.)
I'm prone to blood-sugar drops too that leave me dizzy and very cranky, so I understand that it really isn't funny...but it seems so hard to microwave a burrito or pour a cup of cereal nonetheless, especially when I'm writing or doing something fun. :^/
