[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m unclear as to why you feel you need to introduce meat.  A vegetarian meals are available everywhere and so common and easy to accommodate as opposed to a vegan diet.

+1. I would’ve been deeply upset if my parents tried this. And nowadays, dietary preferences and allergies are incredibly common ALL over the world.

As I shared, I tried it on my own, even in the less vegetarian friendly days of my youth, and all it made me feel was ill and nauseated. I can’t imagine if my parents had tried to force this on me. [/quote]

I'm flashing back to negotiating with my mom about how many bites of meat I had to eat at dinner. I never liked beef, pork, or chicken. It's not a matter of being rigid. I just don't find meat appetizing.

He's getting protein and other nutrients with lentils, beans, and veggies. You know there are people who live long, healthy lives without animal protein. Why embark on this campaign? If anything, you're coming off as the rigid one, who has decided that a common diet is some sort of problem. [/quote]

I agree with this. I would really reconsider your line of thinking, particularly if your son hasn’t expressed the desire to start eating meat himself. [/quote]
