New to group

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

I'm new to the group. I'm Maggie, 50 (tomorrow)!, and mom to a

wonderful 9yo girl with moderate to severe autism.

 

I'm a new vegetarian too. I stopped eating meat once the Christmas

stuff was gone and right now, I can't imagine eating it ever again; I'm

the only one in the family though, so I still have to prepare it for my

husband and daughter.

 

I would like my daughter to not eat meat, but DH thinks that children

need meat to be healthy. I know he's wrong, but you can't change his

mind once it's made up, so I'm thinking maybe I'll need to compromise

and suggest that we try it when she's say, twelve or thirteen and

mostly done growing taller, or only eat meat away from home, or

something like that.

 

Right now, I'm ove-lacto, but I'm thinking I may move more towards

veganism as time goes on.

 

Any advice welcome, especially with regard to husband and daughter.

My husband is overweight, so a well planned vegetarian diet would be

very good for him, if he could be persuaded.
