If you are vegetarian, should your children not eat meat as well?
From the parents point of view, it would be conveniant to be bring them up as vegetarians also with the awareness of meat, until they get to a age where they would like to decide for themselves with regards to this
Alternatively, bringing them up a vegetarians may make they reluctant to eat meat.
Personaly, I have seen a friend whose famiy brought him up in the first context (above) and then he decided at around 12 years old what he wanted to do. He liked both meat and vegetarian meals, but respected his parents opinions and would mostly eat appropriate meals with them and then when out with his mates or other family members would eat meat meals.
Hope this helps?
If in a family of non-vegetarians when everyone else except me takes NV, then it is extremely difficult for me to force my children to take up vegetarianism.
Kids need a lot more attention to appropriate vitamins/minerals than us full-grown folk. If parents are really conscious of the vegetarian diet to be sure it will be very healthy for the kiddos, then it shouldn't be a problem (veganism is a different story - we need some animal protein, especially when we are growing up).
The best idea is to consult with a vegetarian-friendly (but not a vegetarian-only) nutritionist. S/he can help families plan diets that will work for everyone.
If eggs are fall into the category of veg. then i feel that the child would have all the proteins he needs to grow up as a healthy adult, and its perfectly alright. And as far as i know, a child would rarely digest red meat.

Why do some vegetarians eat fish and eggs? I am a meat eater but have always curious about this. Wouldn't fish and other types of seafood be a meat? Wouldn't eggs be considered as an unborn chicken? I even know some people who claim to be vegetarians and eat chicken.

There is nothing more annoying than encountering a pushy, preaching vegetarian sort who criticizes me for being human. I love meat and I won't tolerate people telling me what I can and can't eat. I don't mind a person eating leaves for dinner, but since it's against the natural order of things,...

My twin grandbabies are 18 months old now, and one of them refuses to eat meat. I don't mean just beef, but also pork, seafood of any kind and poultry. We've rolled it in bread crumbs, dipped it in all kinds of sauces, chopped it up so it's almost invisible and hidden it all types of dishes and...

I am a vegetarian because I do not want to live on killings of animals. What about you? If you are, what are the reasons behind your being a vegetarian? And if you are not, what do you think about vegetarian people?
