3. good for her.
you don't "need" the meat. If you really really want it, cook it up and add it to YOUR plate.

Do you know why she won't eat meat? Is it taste? Moral? What?


I fully supported my son in his decision to become vegetarian. Now the three of us (me and his little brother) are all vegetarian, though his dad is not. (He is when he eats here; which isn't very often any more, but anyway. . . )

I don't particularly enjoy being a vegetarian, I understand and support it philosophically, but I ate meat most of my life and I really do "miss it". Meat can be an addiction, you know. Sometimes it's hard, but it's very very important to my son - who doesn't believe in eating animals - so I don't.

My son is way more important to me, than eating a cheesburger.

:shrug: but everyone has to make their own decisions about it, I suppose.

It's just that if she feels that strongly about it, how can you not support her?

JMO, of course.
