My 5 year old is thinking about being a vegitarian

Make them eat Brussel sprouts. They will be begging you for meat after the first bite.

I'm not placing any of my children in public school to get indoctrinated by this mediocre American Society. What gives a teacher more qualifications to teach my child than I myself have?

Well...the first time I read the title, I wasn't paying much attention. My quick first thougt: Geez, what 's so bad about treating animals for their various ills. Vets can be life savers!

In the words of Pink Floyd........" How can you have any pudding, if you don't eat your meat"

 

Kids are very impressionable.

Cook the vegetables in bacon grease

I told my older daughter who is almost 19 about this and she said she wanted to do the same thing too, but at about age 12. That fits right in with what someone else said above about when their children started making choices for themselves. My little one is 5 and at this point she won't decide for herself. I would not force her to eat meat, but it will be put on her plate each and every time I make dinner. In my house there is only one dinner made.

 

I myself was just about a member of PETA and was almost a vegetarian - so I seriously do understand both sides of the fence. I do buy some store bought meat, but most is what we kill ourselves or what is raised by people we know. This is how I have found my balance.

 

Oh yeah - by the way she had career day at school a couple weeks ago and she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She is so my daughter! Funny how that happens.
