give your mom a book on vegan nutrition.
switching back to eggs and milk to make you healthy? not going to happen. they just cause long-term, more severe problems.
you can get the same nutrients that they have while on a vegan diet, and EASILY. i think your mom might just be looking for excuses to switch your diet.
my mom is always looking for them. :b

Taerinn Stand in the rain, stand your ground...
I'm super pissed.
I passed out this morning because I guess I haven't been getting enough nutrients, because my parent's won't buy my the food I need.
CURSE MY NOT BEING SIXTEEN YET!! gonk
And my mom is making me go vegetarian again.
I just feel bad, now.
I don't wanna eat abused animal products! emo
I'll probably go back to vegan in the summer when I can drive and have a job, but, I hate the fact I'll have to eat milk and eggs just not to faint.
Have any of you gone through this?
How did you try to ease the guilt?
Stand up when it's all crashing down. obviously there are varying issues about cows tht are milked. but if the milk comes from a good, stable place; its actually good for the cows to be milked. if the equipment tht some farms use to milk the cow is not clean, then no it isnt good for the cow. You can try as others suggested being a lacto-vegan. You may need more protein or vitamins. If your parents are forcing you to be only a vegetarian right now, you can get this from egg whites. but you can also get quite a bit of protein from nuts, tofu, and boca products. vitamins are purchased at stores. hope i helped!

blackenedstarsoftheworld In my opinion you should find out whats wrong with you. I am a vegetarian and I have to go to the doctors soon because I have been sleeping to much and Passing out. I'm also getting headaches and not feeling as good as I used to. And cows are usually horribly treated and purposely impregnated for the milk and calves to be used at meat. Just because the cow is treated fairly doesn't mean it will be if they send it off to be slaughtered. Slaughter houses have some of the worst conditions and if you look up some of the videos there just heart breaking. i have a question. i recently had to stop being a vegetarian due to family arguments X_X. but i have some of those things b/c i try to eat as much as i can like a vegetarian still. i get much too cold when others r hot, and i sleep much, much too much. do u think this could have anything to do w/ anything im eating?

it's not as big a deal as you think (probably). If there's an organic foods store near you, great. blaugh
If not, check your local grocery store. There is usually an organic section, but if not, check milk, eggs, etc. Look at the carton and if it says 'free range' or 'USDA Organic' you're good to go.
I hope this helps, and good luck! wink
