Would love opinions on this, another thread had me up in the night thinking about this!
DH and i have both been vegetarians for many years and (naturally to my mind) have not given DS meat to eat, he eats what we eat
We eat a balanced diet, plenty of protein and i like to think I am a fair cook
I have always been of the mind that DS can choose to eat meat himself as soon as he able to express a preference but I'm not going to cook it for him now IFYSWIM.
I've been wondering though, when does this start? Do I agree to him having meat at nursery? Or let him fill his boots at parties if he wants? Looking for some opinions, especially if you have been through this yourself
DH and I are not opposed to eating meat per se but don't feel it is healthy or environmentally responsible to eat as much meat as most westerners do. TBH I think the optimum diet would be to eat meat perhaps once a week or every other week, but I never get round to doing it!
I don't really like the idea of sending him to a party with a lunch box and don't want him to feel left out, though DH doesn't think that is so important
Thanks for reading if you got through this
