What's a Mom to do? My husband loves meat and our younger daughter has become a vegetarian. She first asked when she was about four years old. Then, I said no. Age four is too young to make a decision that significantly affects health. I felt comfortable saying no, then. But when she turned 12, she asked again. And this time I said yes. Since then, we've struggled a bit with each accepting the other's choice, and she has struggled with some health issues.

Is your daughter Vegan or Vegetarian? Sandra Lee from the food network has a bean burger recipe that my meat loving, bean hating husband will eat. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, CindyatWork,
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a vegetarian, not vegan. She did not want to be vegan, and her pediatrician said it's very difficult at (though not impossible) for a teenage girl to get the nutrition that she needs on a vegan diet, mostly because of calcium needs.
Thanks for the beam burger suggestion. Can you post a link to it? If not, I'll search for the recipe.
