Myth/Pat

[Guest guest]

I agree, Pat. Vegan *can* be a very strict diet and

some chilren just will *not* eat what they should to

stay healthy. I'm finally able to get my son to eat

tofu cubes...By frying them and calling them chicken.

I've already substituted the hotdogs, corndogs,

meatballs, lunchables, etc. with meatless stuff. But

I really don't want him to not eat fish. There is no

other way to get the Omegas, healthily...And I would

not be able to get him to take fish oil. However,

fish is his favorite meat. Vegetarian diet for

children is hard enough - my hat is off to all the

vegans successfully raising vegan children. But, I'm

too scared to do that.

Warmly,

Allison
