Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I did not reference who wrote this statement below, but i totally agree. I got pregnant and now have a 3 year old and have raised her vegetarian. I also have a 19 year old who was 6 when she and I adopted each other. She was raised eating meat, so it was quite a dilemma when she came into a vegetarian household. I did not buy meat for my house nor did I prepare meat in my house. When we would go out to eat, she would order meat or as she got older she would buy it herself or go to a friend's house. Otherwise, she would eat what I prepared which was vegetarian meals. She is still a meat eater, sad to say for me, but I hope one day she will find the meat industry cruelity too much and become vegetarian. " I haven't encountered this problem yet, as my son is two, but my stance is going to be, he can't eat meat in the house (no one does), I won't prepare meat, and I won't buy meat. I'm not going to be aggressive about it, but explain to him that it goes against my principals to participate in such activities. Ultimately, he has to make the decision for himself, but I don't have to comprimise my values if he chooses to eat meat. I hope through education and example, we never have to face this.
