I am not a vegetarian. I thinkI would like to but have little will power. I try to be respectful of other peoples choices. I just don't like it when people are really pushy about being vegetarian. This goes for just about anything for me. You can do it , just don't try to convert me please.
I could see raising a child vegetarian, but vegan is pushing it. Growing children need protein and many other things that require a balanced diet. But so long as the child is getting everything they need, and the parents know what they are doing, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
