Docs, could a 13 year old be a vegetarian?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are many families that follow the vegetarian lifestyle for their whole lives.It would not be wise for a 13 yo to suddenly decide to become vegetarian without first studying the lifestyle. Novices are more likely to have nutritional deficiencies when they are not raised in the lifestyle, where proper balance of nutritional needs is taught.
