[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I it is very unhealthy to with hold meat from your children. at this age they need meat everyday to develop. Once they are older into their teen years and past more critical development stages can you start experimenting with vegetarian vegan lifestyles.[/quote]

You keep posting this on every vegetarian thread and it isn't true.  I'm not even vegetarian and I know this.  The only issue with vegetarianism and children is that the parents have to be more cautious to balance the proteins and nutrients.  But a vegetarian diet that is balanced and contains sufficient vegetable proteins and vitamins is perfectly healthy for children.

If you're going to keep touting this, please cite some sources.  And not the nutcase from the University of California.  She used poverty-stricken children in Africa as her test base showing market improvement of children who were give small amounts of meat.  Those children were on a subsistance diet, not a balanced healthy vegetarian diet.  Please find some sources that compare first world, balanced vegetarian diets with omnivorous diets.[/quote]
