I pretty much stopped eating. Anything they tried to feed me with meat in it, I refused. I told them I was going to be a vegetarian, and they laughed and called me silly and said it was a phase and all the rest of it. So for quite a while, I was eating a meal a day - breakfast. There wasn't much meat they could sneak into my cereal. I'd buy food at school if I could afford it, or else just eat my crisps and drink my juice and bring home the ham sandwiches they insisted on giving to me. If they made something for dinner with meat, I'd ask them to leave the meat out for me. If they didn't, I wouldn't touch it.
After a while, they got sick of wasting food and having arguments, and they caved. I wish I could have had a rational, civil discussion with them, but my mum is not a rational or civil person. If your parents are willing to listen and take you seriously, though, then just talk to them. Do your research, present them with scientific evidence that it's a healthy diet, and suggest some kickass meals that you'll all enjoy together.
