why should I not eat fish?

[Guest guest]

Hey guys,

I'm a " pesca-vegetarian, but i would liek to be fully vegetarian. my only

problem is that I am a minor and cannot reason with my grandma' why i should not

eat meat from a humanitarian standpoint or a healthy standpoint. Could you fuel

me with some information about why I should not eat fish?

Hi all,

 

Cassandra, I think it is great that you are trying to be vegetarian! Here

is a link to an article with good reasons to not eat fish:

http://www.compassionatespirit.com/fish.htm

 

While not related to fish specifically, VIVA has a veggie info packet for

teens; check it out at http://www.vivausa.org

 

You might also find this article on vegetarianteen.org interesting -- it has

an answer to the question " What is the best way for teens to approach

parents who are opposed to their decision to adopt a vegan lifestyle? "

http://www.vegetarianteen.com/interviews/joanne.shtml

 

I hope others who became veg during teen years will offer suggestions on how

they worked with their family on this issue. For myself, I didn't see the

light until years later... Good luck with your efforts!

 

Cheers,

Tammy
