Now one is a moral omnivore (like Jackie French - as long as they've had a happy life and not been killed in an abatoir = her own poultry and male goat kids, esssentially) and the other has been vegan for about 25 years. i don't think he had enogh legumes and things, but he's enormously strong, champion at his martial arts, and very broade across the shoulders, so i can't really comment - mainly soy protein and veggies i think.<br />But resident grandson (14) has never eaten meat (though his parents now do) but fortunately still eggs and cheese so it's not too difficult. he used to stand looking into the butcher's window and ask his great-grandmother 'what dead animal is that?' - she had a lot of trouble answering!<br /><br />but the intVirginia Lowehttp://www.createakidsbook.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773539610706998068.post-50702468709840426292010-08-25T14:11:41.926+10:002010-08-25T14:11:41.926+10:00I just know there's no point serving meat to h...I just know there's no point serving meat to her at the moment because she just won't eat it.
