Guest guest Posted April 30, 2001 Report Share Posted April 30, 2001 Hi. I recently stopped eating all meat (about 2 months ago) for health reasons, but since then I have made a more conscious decision to avoid meat for environmental, ethical, and spiritual reasons as well. I'm also in the process of getting rid of all my leather goods, and am searching for alternatives to household items that contain or are made using animal by-products, including the foods we eat. My 3-yr-old son currently doesn't eat meat because he doesn't like it, but is totally dependent on dairy, and is a very picky eater to boot. I don't know that he'll ever be able to give up his favorite yogurt! Having children who are picky eaters is a normal parenting issue, but trying to raise them on a vegan diet makes things more difficult. Can anyone give me some suggestions? By the way, my loving husband is trying to understand (and even agrees with) some of my reasons for deciding to live my life this way, but he hasn't been very supportive of my goals to change our son's diet. He feels that since he grew up consuming meat and dairy and he's healthy, it should be ok for our child to eat it too (if he ever decides to.) Currently I am the only person I know who has made this important life decision, and I'm feeling a bit lonely in my efforts to change not only my family's eating habits, but our entire way of life. Can any of you friendly vegetarians out there let me know how you made these changes in your own lives, and what kind of resources did you find to help? Thanks!
