Why no-meat meals are what Im choosing for my kids

If you want to be a vegetarian, you need to develop thicker skin to deflect much of the worlds commentary. Once you reveal your dietary preference, it is open season on your stance. Ive never really understood why people feel the need to question, reference, and judge my choice without fully understanding my reasons. Besides, it is really no ones business but my own. I dont ridicule or demand to know why others choose to eat meat, so I find it strange that people find it appropriate to do so to me. But its okay. Im used to it. Just imagine though what people have said and continue to say to me regarding our (both mine and my husbands) decision to raise our children as meat-free individuals. The uproar. The incredulousness. The concern.
