[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 7:02-I get the definition. My opinion is that someone should choose to become vegetarian. A 12 month old cannot choose this diet. It is what they are being fed by adults. Offer them everything and let them decide as they get older.[/quote]

Not the poster you're responding to, but I completely disagree.  For one, OP never said that she doesn't offer meat, just that her child doesn't eat it.  My toddler eats very little meat; he seems to have a problem with the texture.  But regardless, if it is the situation that OP is vegetarian/keeps a vegetarian home - as parents we make lots of decisions about what foods we do and do not offer our children. Why would OP's decision to not to offer meat to her 12 month old be any different than my decision to not offer juice, or another's decision to not offer ham or shellfish because they keep a kosher home?  I am sure that as OP's child gets older there will be plenty of opportunities to try meat, and I have a hard time imagining that OP will prohibit her 12 year old from eating a hamburger at a friend's pool party.  There will be plenty of opportunities to try everything, and her child will indeed get to choose whether to be vegetarian or not as he/she gets older.  She doesn't need to offer everything to a baby.[/quote]
