i have basically turned vegetarian due to health and ethical reasons
i have gone over to the eat right for your bloody type diet and for my blood type its says i shouldnt eat any meat and manily keep to grains, veges, fruit etc.
all the family is the same blood type yet dh is more of a meat eater too and he will have vegetarian meals when at home but more meat when out.
the kids are being fed meat until they are old enough to chose for themselves and what they want to do. plus ds & dd being on a high fat high fibre and high protein diet they need to get as much into them as possible

Tell him the advantage of vegetarian

I am vegan and my DH and little boy are veggie. I absolutely see it as the right way to raise my family. I never want my child to be desensitized to the taking of life. If it is a need to live, no problem but if it is driving through a McDonalds drive through, i feel it is completely a waste of life.

i hope i raise my son to respect all living things regardless of their size and what other people do.

if he decides to eat meat at any stage, than I have no problem with that. He is very halthy and have paed check his blood on regular intervals.

Nobody told me fish were vegetables!!!!!!

Hi. I am vegetarian (I was raised one) and I am very glad for it, now that I understand all the ethical implications of eating meat. My husband is a carnivore and while he has now changed his diet enough to eat only free range meats, he is never going to give up meat. I am ok with his decision. I really believe that this is an individual decision and I would never impose this belief on my husband whose intellect, heart and mind I thoroughly respect and admire enough to accept his decision. With our children, we have decided to raise them as vegetarian until such time that they express curiosity and then we will explore ways to teach them ethical meat eating. I am hoping of course, that they will reject it, but that's my upbringing.

I come from a family that as far back as we go, no one's touched meat (raised Hindu vegetarian) No history of any illnesses except diabetes and no health issues and I might add, very long lives (three great grandmothers who lived past 90)..

Good luck, I imagine a lot of dialogue is necessary to resolve this.

I have a name for your to look up. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. He has, in my opinion, a very good point of view when it comes to food. He isn't a vegetarian he eats meat, even haggis (yuck), and also has vegie dishes that meat eating men will eat - well mine does and he will sit down to a steak and chips with tobasco sauce for breakfast- I won't explain him to you, but watch him.
