Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I know what you mean about once they're in school... Like I've found at birthday parties, social gatherings and celebrations as well as school, it's usually the adults that make it seem so strange being vegetarian. My son doesn't wish to be like everyone else in school, he wishes *they* were all veggie. So many adults put the focus on foods and the kids could care less. I used to worry about the birthday foods being well-received at our parties, and the kids are so busy running around having a good time, the food is the last thing on their minds. My son started wearing a " vegan " rubber bracelet to school. His phys ed teacher asked him what it meant and it got them talking about it. The teacher confessed he " tried going vegetarian, but it was too hard " ... It was neat that it got a conversation started though. Anyway... I look forward to talking with all of you about these types of situations! ~Kortnee mom of 3 (....so far.... we'll see!) lol I'm a single mom to the wonderful 6.5 year old Lucia. I've been veg for around 15 years, and she's been veg her whole life. I thought when she started kindergarten this year the peer pressure would pick up and she'd want to at least try meat.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 At our schools we have a taco buffet separate from the other meals and dishes. The taco line for veggie tacos is the longest. Of course they have the taco meat, but most of the kids just love the veggie tacos. Another favorite is the lettuce wrap buffet...tons of veggies. And the fresh pico de gallo goes on everything. It is to die for. Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
