Yes! He Loves Meat too.
I got the green signal from my son, GT’s paediatrician to start him on solids. Introducing him to single/multi cereals was easy; he loved the new tastes and textures. As parents, my husband, who loves his meat and me a vegetarian (it has been 15 years!!!) made the decision to feed our children with meat-as long as it is organic.
I went to the store bought some beef (grain fed, no animal by product, no-antibiotic-just reading the package made me shudder as I glanced at its cousins-forced into cannibalism) which was super expensive! Coming out of the grocery store feeling a lot lighter in my purse I was wondering like we all do – Why does eating/feeding your family healthy have to be expensive? How can I balance healthy eating with cost?
My son’s first meat dish was minced beef, peas and carrot puree; unlike the time when I introduced him to cauliflower he did not clench his mouth closed but LOVED it! Jury is out -neither my 31/2 year old daughter, who loves her kebabs and chicken chowmein, is going to become a vegetarian anytime soon nor is my little boy! As long as they eat veggies, as a vegetarian mother I accept their present verdict on their diet!
