[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I don't like meat and since I am a grown-up, I don't have to eat it". No big deal. I am a vegetarian nanny as well. [/quote] I'm sorry but I really hate this response with anything having to do with explaining things to children. They are autonomous beings too and shouldn't be made to feel like just because they are young, they can't have a say in what they do or don't do. Please don't get me wrong, children need boundaries and limits, but the justification that those are in place just because they are not adults is troublesome, to say the least. [/quote] Nonsense. At least in this incidence. Vegetarianism is like religion - the shorter the explanation the better. I do not want anyone telling my child that eating meat is killing beloved animals. And the truth is, vegetarians are grown-ups who have made a grown up choice for themselves. [/quote]
