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

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 crisps, that would obviously be very bad for you! If people don’t
eat properly, they (4) …….. ill. It’s that 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 you, (7) it ……… 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 older before
making such a big decision.
