Vegetarian at 12?!
Question:
Vegetarian at 12?
Are there anything precautions that should be taken when a 12 year old wishes to be a vegetarian? are there things that can be done to help maintain a healthy living?
Answers:
i'm 15 and i'm a vegetarian. i suggest asking a pediatrtion. some people need iron and protien supplements, because of all the deficencies people who skip meat miss, especially kids. anemia can be really serious. i know people with anemia form going vegetarian and they are now on birth control because they're periods get really heavy and they get too weak to get up out of bed. i suggest all natural vitamins. and they also have meat replacment foods, and they have more protein and such than real meat they also taste great. i love boca meatless chicken nuggets and chicken patties. also the three cheese hot pockets are amazing. :] hope this helped!
