Paltrow: I'm not a controlling mother (vegetarian reference)

[Guest guest]

I guess that sums my approach to parenting as well. In the house we're vegan,

nuff said. No one debates it. At school, I'd like them to be vegan but its

their decision if a little dairy sneaks in. (Dairy is the only variable and its

cheese or ice cream. All four are adamant about not eating meat or drinking

milk.)

 

We also have an agreement about not including wierd smelling food in lunches.

They like to be up- front about being vegetarian but they hate being " outed " by

their lunch.

Vocal about vegetarianism on their own terms describes them best.

>> Gwyneth Paltrow is determined not to be so over-protective of her

baby daughter Apple that she is seen as a " freak " by other children

when she grows up.

 

It's not what names you are called that matters, it's what names you

answer to.

 

Hopefully we'll be raising knowledgable and confident children who

take

pride in the choices they are making, and how those choices affect

themselves and the world they are part of.
