We are not vegan but eat a lot of vegan foods.
If youre making meatballs, I would just make the vegan ones and [b]have everyone eat the same thing[/b].
easy to use non dairy milk in place of cows milk. Almond milk has more calcium that cows milk.
Does she like nuts and nut butters?[/quote]

I would not let an 11 year old dictate the food choices of the entire family.  And they clearly are not making meatballs.[/quote]

Vegan meat is very unhealthy, overprocessed and full of artificial flavors.

You might as well eat genetically modified chicken or beef that was injected with a bunch of hormones.

Don't be the irresponsible parent that feeds their developing kids vegan fake "meat"[/quote]

You can make meatballs from lentils, peas, etc. no need for fake meat. [/quote]

Those are not [color=blue]meat[/color]balls.

Those are [i]legume[/i]balls or [i]bean[/i]balls.

Call them what they are which are not meatballs since they are completely lacking in the one item that makes meatballs meatballs, [u]meat[/u].[/quote]

This is silly because meat has more than one meaning.  Think mincemeat or when referring to the "meat" of a coconut.

People who get upset over thinks like meat or milk being used for plant based things just tells me they haven'tpad attention to the etymology. The oldest English language cookbook we have (The Forme of Curry from the 1300s) has recipes for almond milk.[/quote]

Traditional mincemeat was minced meat. [/quote]

Actually it covered both.  Old recipes have both.

Medieval cooking had a ton of "meat" recipes because of the strict religious calendar you had tons of fasting days, particularly in Lent, where meat wasn't allowed.  Now there were some funky definitions of what "meat" actually was back then but also a lot of imitation meat recipes.

Using "meat" and "milk" on alternatives goes well back to the medieval period and people getting ruffled over it look silly.
