[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am considering a vegetarian/vegan diet.

My coworker grew up vegetarian and she told me that she sometimes felt left out because she couldn't have some foods at friends' houses, had limited options at restaurants or college dining hall, etc. Did your kids have experiences that were positive, negative, or both?

Thanks. [/quote]

I think you can’t give an experience of everything to your child. They grow up in city and miss out the openness of less urban parts. Grow up in suburbs and you’d miss out on the diversity and Other experiences of city life.

I’d say evaluate why you want to be a vegan/ vegetarian and think if those reasons apply to your kids as well or not. If you think they’d miss out on something’s then consider can those things be found somewhere else and what is it that they are going to gain. It’s not hard at all these days to find nutritious and delicious plant based food. People don’t eat many things because of preferences or allergies etc. Everyone doesn’t have to have the exact same life experiences. [/quote]
