Vegetarian and meat eating households. :)

I was a vegetarian for 15 years. I eat some meat now like chicken and beef. Overall I eat veggie and prefer it to meat. My dh is a big meat eater loves pork, lamb, etc. Anyway, he is concerned that our lo will not eat meat because I'm not eating it. At the moment he loves meat and I cook him all types. We don't want to tell him you eat this and mom doesn't have too. What are you planning to tell your kids if you are in a similar situation?

Re: Vegetarian and meat eating households. :)

  • I guess I can relate a little bit to your question. I eat meat, but I'm very picky and barely eat any fruits or veggies. At this point I try to make all sorts of food for DD and attempt to get her to try everything. There are some foods she eats right now that I buy only for her because DH and I both don't like them. I honestly don't think it will make much difference whether I'm eating something. If she likes the foods she will eat them whether I'm eating them or not. If she doesn't like something it doesn't matter if everyone else at the table is eating it, she still won't eat it. I am going to try my hardest to make her try everything.

  • Thanks everyone! This question came about so early for us because our lo wants to eat what's in our plates now. He wants what I'm eating even if it's the same as what he has etc.
