Is there such a thing as a natural vegetarian? Cuz my three year old will not eat meat in any form. Roast chicken, bits of steak, hot dogs, mcdonalds chicken nuggets, all get rejected.

I have even tried to be clever by sneaking some chicken into a quesadilla. She will pick it out and eat the tortilla and cheese. On that note she does readily eat cheese, eggs and milk. So I've made a point to get her plenty of that.

I am a little worried though. Me and the wife are most definitely not vegetarian. It's not picky phase either, as she has been pretty avoidant of meat in general since she started eating regular food. Is this a phase or is this an actual thing? And how do I get her enough protein.

Eh she’s a female so I wouldn’t worry to much about it, my wife was like this growing up as well. Her mom and dad used to get pissed because she would sneak the meat off her plate into potted plants and stuff lol. She’s been a vegetarian since she was 12 and went vegan at 18. She’s not a militant asshole about it though so I don’t care to much.

>letting a child dictate the choices you make abotu their diet/life
You are the parent you fucking pussy. She needs protein and the micro-nutrients in meat to develop into a healthy child. You make the decision about her diet, and she gets the belt if she disobeys.

Quit lying vegan. Vegan parents force their kids to eat unpalatable vegetables practically shoving the slop down their innocent throats. Every infant loves milk and meat same as a dog or kitten would, they're still in the "instincts" phase.

Yes, 'natural' vegetarians do exist
there are some conditions that cause people to be semi-vegetarian, my father quite literally couldn't stomach meat, though he'd eat bacon that was burnt black as charcoal to get that little bit.
I'm pretty sure he got lyme disease from a tick bite as a kid or something, he could eat eggs without issues and hot dogs to some extent.

but I don't feel it's particularly likely most 3 year olds are allowed to wander through tick infested areas
have you tried sandwich meats?

as far as enough protein goes, you already said she likes eggs

>> No.13925198

It could be a texture thing too. Or she doesn't like the way it feels when she chews.

Keep her eating lots of dairy and egg protein, make sure she gets nuts/nut butters and iron heavy veggies such as broccoli and spinach. Ask a pediatrician about putting her on a supplement if needed.

Otherwise, ride it out? My best friend hated meat until she was about 12 and now the only thing she doesn't really like is some kinds of fish.

You’re right. Let them choose what to eat, what to wear in public, whether they want to go to school or not, when they want to go to bed.

You make what you make and if your kid doesn’t wanna eat it, then they can go hungry.

>> No.13925265

there's a difference between being uncooperative and displaying a dietary preference op mentioned that she still eats eggs and dairy so you would assume she has a balanced diet you can't make decisions for your children forever if you want to raise a healthy child they need to be able to express their independence otherwise they'll be living in your basement for the rest of their life

Child might just not like the texture and taste of meat. Make sure she gets proper nutrition anyways, since she will seemingly eat anything that isn't meat, she'll probably be fine. Could be a phase but might not be, I have a cousin who doesn't really like the taste and texture of meat, been that way her whole life. It happens, I guess.

I actually have a really close friend who's vegetarian for this exact reason, ever since he was little he just reflex gagged when eating meat. He does just fine, manages to get protein from milk, eggs, and plant based sources pretty well.

I wouldn't try to push meat on the kid, I think figuring out suitable protein alternatives shouldnt be too hard.

My parents would make fun of me whenever I would cut my steak up, like a surgeon with a scapel. They always bought the cheapest shitty-ass "meat" full of gristle though and every time we had hamburgers I'd inevitably bite down on a bone fragment.

I love cheese, eggs, poultry, breaded fish, cured meats, etc and all those things are much cheaper than a high quality slab of red meat

No, there is no such thing as a natural vegetarian. Humans are omnivores naturally, they would have to make an active decition to not eat meat.

Kids are fucking weirdos. This could all be happening because one time she got a nasty (to her, at least) piece of meat in something that triggered a "meat bad" response in her under-developed gray matter and a month (or a day or six months or whenever) from now that switch will flip the other way for whatever reason and she'll want meat (more likely whatever specific kind of meat flipped said switch) three meals a day.

Eggs and dairy are good sources of protein in the meanwhile, as are nuts. Oats also have a relatively high protein content compared to other cereals and I have never even heard of a young child not liking oatmeal.
