[quote=Anonymous]You are unconciously doing lots of things that will influence your child forever -- significant things like eating habits and respect for others, medium things like dog person, cat person, or neither, and insignificant things like does toilet paper pull from the top or the bottom.  But your child will go through independent streaks (if you're doing it right) when he will do the opposite of you, just because he can, and he might make meat one of those choices.  Also, he will meet people who also profoundly impact him, like girlfriends, and that could lead him to try meat and maybe eat it regularly.  I think that if he chooses to eat meat at any point in his life, that's fine, and if he doesn't, that's fine too and it's not because you conditioned him in a bad way.  If you conditioned him to never want to leave the house or never want to bathe, that would be bad.  But no one will be hurt if he eats healthy without meat, and he and the environment will probably benefit.  I say all this as a meat-lover and I guess it's just a very long way of saying "let it go."[/quote]
