(TLDR AT END) Hello, I would like to seek some advice for what to do with my parents. I have known about this movement for about 9 months now. I'm 15 y/o male, and my parents haven't always fed me the healthiest diet, but in general, it was decently high in animal fats, but had too much grains/vegetables/sugar in it.
I've always been fairly smart, and have researched many things on my own such as orthodontics and philosophy. Wanting to maximize my growth period, I have adopted a "inoffensive" kind of diet. Similar to what Paul Saladino eats. I minimize grain consumption, although my parents force me to eat them often, but I find ways to eat as little as possible, and I eat about 1 lb of meat/fish a day.
The problem comes in when my parents argue with me, every day, about the foods I eat. They forced me to eat a bit of couscous tonight at dinner, which contained sunflower oil, soy, and all sorts of garbage. Now, obviously 2 spoonfuls of junk isn't going to turn me into a woman, but the pattern repeats nearly everyday now.
They label my eating habits as "orthorexia" and are trying to take me to a therapist for it. They have said that my diet excludes certain food groups and is unhealthy.
Because of the conflict happening I have now devised a plan to start biking to my local food lion to buy conventional muscle meat from ruminants, or grass fed ground lamb, and eat it on my own, without them being irritated. This would risk having to eat what they feed me as well as raw foods, but would keep the peace and would be easier to do.
TL;DR: If my parents won't let me go all in on this diet, is it better to have some raw meat that is mid quality without them knowing, but still risk having to consume what they feed me, or it it better to try to convince them of aajonus's teachings.

@LactoseTolerant just try and teach them in the first place before you do anything. I don’t know the laws in your country but if you buy something with your own money they shouldn’t be able to take it away or throw it out. You could also just eat the meat and tell them it’s cooked if you’re able to.

@LactoseTolerant Im in a similar situation. For me, explaining the benefits of eating raw foods was pointless. I tried very hard to make my mother feel more comfortable with the idea of me eating raw foods but at the end of the day she still thought it was unhealthy and would freak out every time she found out I had eaten raw meats.
So for me the best thing is to eat raw and fermented foods in secret while also eating some cooked meats, I try limit myself as much as possible.
If you’re going to buy your own raw meat then I would prioritise raw organs such as liver or brain as they will be very beneficial, I’d also definitely get raw milk since you will still be in developmentI think what made my situation a little easier was that I have a father who is very into gym and different diets, he thinks im doing the carnivore diet so im not being forced to eat grains or vegetables as much
