Meal Time with Vegetarian Kids

When I was a teenager not many people knew about vegetarian or vegan diets. These days kids are more aware, with the world at their fingertips. While I decided to give up meat and chicken in my early 20’s my daughter decided at 10. Why? Was it my influence? Was it her friends? Was it something she learned in school? Who knows, she simply told me one day it grossed her out. She is now 13 and has a handful of friends, mostly girls, who have also become vegetarian.
