Ok so I turned veg at 15 and stayed veg until 18, moved out of home ate meat again and then went veg again at 21 and have been for 17 years So it could be a phase, it might not though. My mum took me to a dietitian and made me understand what I needed to eat for a balanced diet, then she would cook veg for me but I needed to cook veg meals for the entire family twice a week. If I kept this up then she would support me. Funnily enough my mum is now veg too

My reasons had nothing to do with body image - more to do with empathy and humanitarianism - so she could be just a caring, wonderful girl
