OP, Ive read every one of your posts. Here are some of the comments FROM OTHER POSTERS which you may find it useful to mull over:
even if OP cant be arsed to read the posts, I like these ideas.
--
You don't seem to be taking any advice that's offered to you on board and I'm struggling to understand why you bothered posting this thread at all. If you're so uninterested, lack the lime and the inclination then don't waste everyone's time by asking for advice that you're going to ignore.
---
Gosh OP you don't seem to want what you asked for in your OP at all! All genuine mealtime suggestions are being shot down or ignored. You just seem 100% against your daughter making the decision to be veggie. It doesn't seem to matter what anyone here says, you aren't able to respect her choice or take it seriously............But what you really seem to want is actually just a moan about your daughter, so do crack on with that.........But it might be better to accept that rather than just getting angry with us all.
---
So you don't have the time or the inclination to change what your family eats but you've started a thread about what vegetarians and vegans eat. Okay..
---
If your dd is as stubborn as you are, you're not going to be able to convince her not to be vegetarian.
---
As the thread has progressed you've grown more wilfully ignorant, disrespectful and unsupportive towards your daughter. Your attitude towards your daughters weight gain is pretty dreadful and from the sounds of it I think you're being slightly hypocritical by calling her lazy
---
You tricked your own vegetarian daughter into eating meat? You have no shame. That's a fucking horrible thing to do. I would have been livid and would question your honesty forevermore if I was her. Surprised so many vegetarian posters have gone on to give you their thoughts. I can't get past the deceit.
--
I don't think you are giving her a lot of respect.......... It's really unfair to give her meat in secret and tell her it's quorn (you could have just made it with quorn for real and skipped all the deception)!
--
Am I missing something? Your DD went veggie and put on a dress size but your so worried about her not eating your putting meat into her food and lying to her that it is quorn or soya? That is disgusting.
----
I can't believe you fed her meat and lied.
--
You made it with meat and told her it was veggie? Seriously?
--
Right, so you fed her meat. What a shit thing to do
--
I don't get what is so hard about it, I also don't get what possessed you to put meat in a vegetarian's dinner - I'd go fucking ballistic if someone did that to me.
--
........the meat options aren't perfectly acceptable, because they contain meat.
---
Please don't feed her meat again. If you don't want to/can't provide her with a meal that fits her requirements then whether or not she's being reasonable you need to be honest with her.
----
.......if she's gone veggie for ethical reasons then I'm sure it's the same story for her. Do you undermine her like this all the time?
---
OP, my mother was like you. When I turned veggie she first insisted on serving me meat at the dinner table, tricked me into eating food that made me very ill and refused to make any allowances for my diet in the weekly shop. As a result I have moderate to severe issues with food.......
----
If you want her to eat a more varied diet, cook a more varied range of vegetarian foods for her. If you don't want to cook for her, accept that she might have a crap diet for a while while she learns to feed herself. But you can't make her eat meat if she doesn't want to. Don't lie to her about whether the meal you're serving is vegetarian, that is disrespectful whichever way you swing it.
--
be careful, you may have lied to her with the best of intentions, but it's an age where lasting damage can be done to the mum daughter relationship.......... Also, be very careful about refusing to buy clothes because she has put on weight, she is not too old for an eating disorder. Again, I don't know your daughter, but 16 year olds I have known, weight can be a very sensitive subject.
---
Please don't give her body-image issues on top of your dishonesty about what you're feeding her!
----
You're really going to happily watch her wear clothes that are too tight for several months? Well fucking done you.
---
Please don't punish her weight gain by not getting her clothes that fit :-( weight gain IMO is often caused by low self esteem and I have never managed to lose weight by trying to fit into tight clothes.
---
OP, for all you go on about processed food, it seems you've no problem with processed meat.Make your mind up...
---
Your diet sounds awful, no wonder she has such a limited palate.
---
That has already been suggested yeddar. The op does not have the time or the inclination.....
---
You mention laziness, OP, but your attitude to the Quorn is slightly lazy...
--
Nothing wrong with either but not on a 5 meal rotation. Everyone's nutrition will eventually suffer of you allow this to continue.
-----
Fuck living off 5 meals....
-----
I think the issue here, OP, is that by your own admission your family eats quite a limited diet. You just have a few limited meals on rotation - pizza, roast dinner, spat Bol etc. So naturally your daughter is not going to suddenly be able to plan or cook a wide variety of meals.

Please take the above comments on board OP!
