Answers:
ME TOO
Im 16, a junior in high school, male, and a vegan
Here are some websites
http://chooseveg!.com
http://vegweb!.com
http://goveg!.com
http://about!.vegetarian!.com
Here is my favorite dish
Its quick and delicious (feel free to add cheese to it of course)
I do not have much time (I clean my whole house *mom is lazy dad is gone off to nowhere* and I do homework, and Im in robotics, and Im vegan, so it gets strenuous)
Here is a dish I make on nights I just want to kick back and watch Time warp, mythbusters, and prototype this (wednesdays 7-10 PM)
Jareds No Cruelty All Deliciousness Chili
Here is what you need
1 can prepared kidney beans
1 can prepared pinto beans
1 green pepper, washed
1 yellow onion, washed
half of a chili pepper (I like it hot, but you can exclude this if you want to)
2 tablespoons of oil (preferably olive oil)
One packet of chili seasoning
1 large can tomato sauce
cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper to taste
One soup pot
First drain the beans, then set them aside
preheat a skillet (about 10 in in diameter) on medium low heat)
next, chop the onion and the green pepper (and the chili if you want it)
next put the oil into the pan and move the pan to where the oil coats it
toss in the vegetables
Cook until onion is transclucent (light passes through) but be careful, dont cook to long
Put the beans in the soup pot
put the vegetables when cooked in their with the beans
toss in the tomato sauce, the chili seasoning, and however many spices you want (just be careful, the flavors take a while to activate)
Stir till mixed very well, then cover and simmer for 35 minutes, stirring occasionaly
serve hot, preferably with saltines, a side of fruit, and a stick of celery *my favorite*
More advice: Stock up on veggies and fruits and whole grains, you will be prepared, try to find easy recipes online that are not time consuming, dont worry about perfection, keep trying and experimenting, and overall just be concientious of your food and time and nutrition
also many foods that are microwavable are quick to make and vegetarian, just watch those ingredients
GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Some of the imitation lunch meats are good, but I generally avoid processed foods!. If you have Trader Joe's near you, they have pre-packaged frozen, microwaveable burritos that are fantastic, and all-natural!. They also have vegetable biryani that can be cooked in a skillet in just a few minutes!. (To beef it up, you could slice up some tofu, seitan, etc!., but it doesn't really need it!.)
also, try talking to your mother!. Explain why you don't want to eat meat!. Try to be persistent, but without nagging!. Over time, she may come around!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
