I switched to vegetarianism two years ago because I read an article about all the health benefits – best decision I’ve ever made. I feel so much healthier now. My skin is really good and my hair is much shinier. You have to be super-careful though that you still get all the nutrients you need in your diet. The main problem for me is that I’m the only vegetarian in the family, and the others want to eat meat and fish. So sometimes it’s a bit of a pain for my mum, because she’s the one who does most of the cooking. She usually cooks for the rest of the family, then throws something together quickly just for me. She says I should learn to cook for myself, but I’ve got so much homework at the moment ... OK, I am a bit lazy about cooking. I’m going to have to get my act together or I’ll be condemned to a diet of salads and omelettes, which I like, but if that’s all you’re eating, it’s pretty boring.
