to this group but have been a vegetarian for

21 years & am raising my 3 children(ages 7,5,2)

to be also but with the 2 oldest in school

now it is becoming harder & more challenging

to keep them that way,as they are seeing all

thier friends eat meat,etc & the school lunches

are almost 100% meat. "

 

~ First of all, warm welcome to the group. i look forward

to reading your posts and sharing recipes with you.

Now aren't those school lunches the worst? Ugh! In the

school's efforts to make food " kid friendly " i think they

have only managed to make the food into fattening,

unhealthy fast-food look alikes. Just horrible.

If you can, pack your children's lunches. There are many

ideas for great lunchbox fillers in the files and also online.

It can be difficult if your children want to be like everyone else,

but if they stick to it and go boldly forth, they could end up

making their friends envious of the great variety of interesting

foods they are eating. Good luck!
