Dear Marsha,
I’m not sure what to do. I’m thinking of becoming a vegetarian, but some of my friends say it’s a bad idea. They say that if I (1) ____ eating meat, my body won’t get all the things it needs to stay healthy. Are my friends right?
Thanks,
Yuri, age 14.
Dear Yuri,
Millions of people are vegetarians and they’re perfectly healthy. You have to be careful though. If you (2) ____ up eating meat completely, and only (3) ____ chocolate and crips, that would obviously be very bad for you! If people (4) ____ properly, they will get ill. It’s simple. If you eat lots of fruit and salad and beans, you (5) ____ get all the things you need to stay healthy. But – you’re only 14 years old. If you (6) ____ at home with your parents – and you probably do – you’ll have to ask them what they think too. If your mum cooks for your, it (7) ____ be difficult for her to make you special meals, If I were you, I (8) ____ think about this carefully and maybe wait until you’re a bit older before making such a big decision.
Marsha.
