[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Let's say he gets made fun of in the lunch room for eating vegetables and hummus instead of potato chips, and when asked why he eats those things he says he's eating that way so that he does not become fat. In light of the current response schools have toward bullying, I could imagine if one of those taunting him was overweight or obese that he would get in trouble for it. That is my concern - not that he would call someone fat to their face - that's just stupid.[/quote] Just teach him to say he's eating those foods because they taste good and they are healthy. That's fine. My kid's a vegetarian. When kids ask him how come he won't eat the chicken tenders, he tells them " I don't like the way they taste". IN fact, he doesn't like the idea of eating animal carcasses. That't the TRUTH but I have told him it is poor manners to use such words when people are in fact eating animal carcasses.[/quote]
