Vegetarianism is more than just a dietary decision; it's
a lifestyle choice. But establishing that lifestyle
within the bounds of ever-changing family dynamics can
be a challenge.Perhaps you're a new parent concerned
about imposing your vegetarian lifestyle on your baby,
or you may be the head of a meat-eating family confused
by your child's recent decision to become a vegetarian.
With the compassionate, authoritative advice in
''Raising Vegetarian Children'', every parent -
regardless of his or her dietary preference - will
discover how to achieve healthy harmony in a vegetarian
household.With nutrient-rich recipes for everything from
breads to spreads, enticing entrees to delectable
desserts, you'll meet and even exceed your child's
dietary requirements. These veggie meals will smooth an
infant's transition to solid foods or soothe the most
finicky teen palate.In addition to nutritional needs,
you'll learn to address the social and emotional aspects
of vegetarianism, including: helping your child cope
with pressure to conform to a standard diet; ensuring
that school officials, caregivers, and relatives abide
by your child's dietary wishes; dining out in
nonvegetarian restaurants and celebrating traditional,
meat-eating holidays. |
