[quote=Anonymous]OP, from personal experience I WOULD NOT support a picky eater becoming vegetarian. You can be a vegetarian but you need to eat a variety of vegetables, beans, nuts, legumes, etc. Make sure she is getting enough calories. For what it is worth, I am familiar with the stories of many parents who had children with eating disorders, and a majority say that the first sign of their children's restricting came when they decided to be vegetarian. Not that every child who wants to be vegetarian develops an eating disorder. But many children who ended up with anorexia, started out by restricting meat. That restriction was the start that threw them down the rabbit hole into a full blown eating disorder. Watch your child carefully. If you feel she isn't eating enough calories INTERVENE QUICKLY. The sooner you intervene the better the outcome. [/quote]
