vegetarian child

[Guest guest]

Hi, My name is Maria and I just joined. I have a son who is eight years old. I

have been a vegetarian for about 10 years, I am 41. My son Brandon has been

raised vegetarian since he was a baby, but lately he is eating tuna sandwiches

at school. I try to make him good lunches, homemade soup, pasta salads, tofurky

and lettuce with mustard rolled up, He eats all these items at home and usually

asks for second helpings and even thirds. I know that it is because of the peer

pressure at school. He is the only vegetarian in his class and probably the

whole school for all we know. Would somebody please tell me if they have had

this problem what they did about it? Any feedback at all would be really

helpful!!

 

I shop at my local food co-op and surrounding ones also. I also shop at the

local health food store. If Brandon could meet other kids who are vegetarian

also then he would be less apt to feel as " alone " as he does.

 

Thank you,

 

Maria
