Re: Re: My Introduction- To PT

 

I am interested in this as well. I have always said that I would raise

my

children vegetarian, but I've gotten much opposition from others. They

feel

that it's not right, but I just can't see myself preparing meat stuff

for my

children when I don't eat it myself.

 

What do you think?

I think doing that is a great idea. I wish I had put my foot down more around

opposing family members and decided to raise my kids vegetarian back

when they were wee.

 

If I had been living way out west here (in Oregon) away from the relatives who

aren't vegetarian (in NY), it would have been worlds easier. I always was

regarded as a bit of an oddball for not eating meat when I chose this lifestyle

as a 15 year old. I think they were tolerant and hopeful I would grow out of it

eventually. *lol* I never did.

 

My husband eats meat and has always enjoyed steak. (bleh) He also enjoys

many vegetarian dishes and most of our meals contain no meat at all.

Maybe one or two days a week they get a meat item served and I mostly

make him cook it and handle it since it grosses me out. He is king of the

BBQ grill. If they do chicken on the grill, I will just microwave a veggie

chicken

patty for myself to go with the sidedishes. It isn't so hard to manage around

our different eating styles.

 

Good luck to you in your family choices. I wish you much success in

whatever you decide. Namaste.
