Any Vegetarians Here??
86 Answers
16 yr old son announced yesterday out of the blue that he wants to become vegetarian. Thought he wake up and change his mind but no. Hubby would rather scoop his own eyeballs out with a spoon than give up meat and I really don't want to cook two different meals every night, so does anyone have any filling hearty vegetarian recipes that would suit both a hardworking hubby and a growing teenager??

Does he have to kill the fish himself ?

Cook roast beef and two veg, and just give your son the two veg. Do egg and bacon and just give him a fried egg. Cook a casserole and prepare a separate one for him without the meat.
Either that or, as Prudie suggests, let him buy, prepare and cook his own meals. He'll soon get fed up and recover from what is effectively an eating disorder.

"fish is so simple and easy to cook,.."
Vegetarians that eat fish are not vegetarians. They are simply fussy eaters because fish is animal flesh.
I would disagree that vegetarianism is not an eating disorder. Humans are omnivores and their digestion is designed to handle meat. Furthermore their systems are designed to require some of the vital components of meat. The moral dimension that some vegetarians cite is specious. It is a fact of life that for some species to thrive others must die.
Lack of meat requires particular care to be taken with diet so as to avoid the problems that lack of those components can bring. This is particularly true of children and young adults. So whilst it’s true that a vegetarian diet can be followed without too many problems it is not the way that humans are designed and it is simply unnecessary. To avoid meat is unnatural behaviour for humans and that amounts to a disorder. It should be discouraged, particularly among the young, as they may not be capable of recognising and avoiding the problems that a meat-free diet may bring.

Lots of choice here...

There are enough choices so that all you need do is add a meat dish so everyone is happy. Think of a way to get more veg in the whole family.

Rather agree with NJ. I was going to say that it is unfair on you, Smow and you should tell him to plan and cook his own meals. Someone mentioned 'would he kill fish?' perfectly fair question to ask him. For quite a while I did not eat mammals, but fish and fowl were, I felt OK. We still eat 2/3 veggie meals a week- perhaps you could suggest that option - but honestly, I'd tell him to sort it out himself. A few hungry days should do it. Another option is to use only ethically produced and slaughtered meat , as do I.
He's pressurising you because of his exams. You have your hubby to consider - he helps to pay for the food, son doesn't.
PS You could add that vegetables have been 'heard' (electronically) to scream when pulled from the ground. Sorry, can't remember where I got that one, but it was a scientific study. It's kill or be killed in the world. :)
