A Want to be Vegetarian
My oldest is 10 and every once in a while, she kind of hints that she really doesn’t like meat. Well, hints is being nice.
Her latest is the she ‘doesn’t want to eat cow’. Her friends think cows are cute so they now think they won’t eat anymore beef. But, when asked by her sister about cheeseburgers she said “well, cheeseburgers are different”.
When she goes through one of these phases, she thinks if she quits eating meat that she’ll be able to eat more junk. When I tell her that we’ll have to do research and figure out what she should replace meat with, she decides not to.
I have no problem with it if she decides she really doesn’t want to eat meat anymore. But, she will have to get the proper nutrition. It would take work on both of our parts but if it was something she wanted to do, I’d help her.
