Everyone is entitled to their own dietary choices. Whether it's for health reasons, ethical ones, or just because you feel like it, we should all be able to eat whatever the heck we want. But in a world where we're constantly inundated with information on how we should be feeding ourselves, it can be hard to tune out the noise. Everyone has opinions and most of them are vastly different. Some people swear up and down that carnivore is the only way, and that if you so much as look at a box of pasta, you're as good as dead. Others insist that plant-based is the only way to achieve true health and happiness. It's hard to know who to believe, and who to listen to. Especially when you're a teenager.

But it's even worse when those voices are coming from within your own family. Sure, your parents want the best for you, but there comes a time when everyone has to make their own decisions. Read on for the story and see what ensued.
