I decided to be a vegetarian when I was young, around 5 or 6. Everyone else in my family ate (and continues to eat) meat, but when I slowly became aware of the connection between the meat I was eating and the animals I so admired, I knew even then that I wasn't interested.
We're seeing how things go with RDM. I want her to explore as much as possible, but I also want to encourage conscientious eating.
Here's a three year old boy in Brazil explaining to his mama why he isn't interested in eating animals. Such a sweet, sweet video and I love the mom at the end.
