Spouses who eat meat: letting vegetarian raised children experiment with meat

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My dh did not go veg when I did, but I don't cook it either. I told him I'm

not having it in the house and he's fine with it. He also takes lunch to

work (usually leftovers!) and only eats against my philosophy when he has a

work thing or when we go out (which is not often). My 3 1/2 year old has

never asked why he does that...yet...

Interestingly enough, he won't eat cheese/dairy anymore because when he does

he feels the effects in his digestive system! :-) I've tried to convince

him it's terrible to eat animals and the way they are treated is atrocious,

etc... but no avail! Have any of you been able to convert your dh

successfully??
