[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a lifelong vegetarian. My son was veg until 5 when someone offered him pepperoni pizza. He hasn't looked back since and its been 5 years. He knows what meat is, because we've always been very matter of fact about it. He made a choice and its ok.

My advice is to ok w/whatever your kid chooses to do regarding meat / dairy.[/quote]
Similar thing happened to us but I told my son he was eating Peppa pig's family  :lol: That put a quick stop to the pepperoni pizza eating. I don't think little kids really understand what meat is and where it comes from unless you grow up in a farm or something.[/quote]

This is so cruel, and I feel bad for your children. I take my kid to a farm, he puts two and two together that the chicken he's looking at "is like the chicken we eat for dinner" and I just say yes. It's up to him whether he wants to keep eating it, anything more than that simple "yes" is brainwashing/borderline child abuse. Just wait until your kid is old enough to understand what you're doing/what you've done. [/quote]

Not the previous poster, but LOL! Talk about some cognitive dissonance. You think a kid eating plant-based is cruel, what do think happens in slaughterhouses?

Trumpers who teach their kids hate, that's exactly the logic they use. I, me, mine before all. My taste-buds before lives. My protein has be easy and cheap. I am not going to change blah..blah..blah![/quote]

No, the point was that it's cruel to say you're eating peppa pig's family. Just say you're eating that pig you saw at the farm. It's the peppa pig family part that's cruel, but congrats to you for finding a way to mention trump, I guess. [/quote]
NP here and you do you PP but try not to be a hypocrite with your cruelty spiel unless you are actually eating the humanely raised pig you saw at the farm. Not many people get to interact with live pigs in a farm. For most families the meat aisle and on tv is going to be the closest thing.[/quote]
