Well sxe doesn't mean being vegan or vegetarian, i have just eaten a load of turkey myself and and still very much straightedge. Vegetarianism is not a detail of what makes up being straightedge so this issue has nothing to do with being straightedge however the protein issue is one that a fair ammount of vegans and vegetarians face. Their are many sources of protein, vegetarians have it a lot easier than vegans in this respect. It is possible to be vegan and have a sufficiant ammount of protien but for some its not so easy and their bodies require protein from fish or meat. So to sum up the only thing this would prevent you from being is vegetarian, you will still be a fully bonifide straightedge kid if you still abstain from drugs and enjoy the hardcore. Hope that clears things up and encourages your cousin to look after her body first and foremost.
