Raising Vegetarian Kids Raising vegetarian children can be a challenge when there is not much societal support. Much has changed to help and much more is needed. I hope this section helps in trying to raising your children vegetarian. I am open to any tips and encourage networking with others. Visit and connect with others raising vegetarian kids on Facebook.

Several decades ago, in about the fourth grade, I was clobbered to the ground by a peer who was offended that I would not eat her chicken. It really started bugging her that I normally ate peanut butter-and-jelley sandwiches. A while back, during a lunch break, a coworker and I were confronted by a dogmatic roadside evangelist prostituting his current religion. I calmly expressed my preference for privacy and moved on. He yelled something about worshipping blue gods, when my co-worker leaned over to me and asked, “Is that why you’re a vegetarian?” I looked at her a little puzzled, when she continued, a little uneasy. “You know, because you worship cows.” I laughed at the oversimplification of my faith, but went on to explain that my choice to be vegetarian was due to more reasons than being a default from the culture I grew up with in India. I know that my son, being raised as a vegetarian, may have to endure names like “Grass Grazer” and the dreaded “Twig Boy.” Fortunately, I have seen great strides in views towards vegetarians which will benefit my son’s journey through vegetarianism. An evidence of progress, I have noticed, is that I have been asked the question, “so what do you eat, lettuce?” (along with whether I lived in a teepee as an “Indian.”) less and less over the years. Of course there is not much I can do about the probability that he will end up with beef burritos instead of bean at Taco Bell. He will learn the important lesson of checking his food in the drive-through and avoiding restaurants that never seem to get it right. Or better yet, maybe he will be saavy enough to sue and get a trip to India out of it at least. A mother can only dream… Raising a vegetarian baby sounds synonymous to child abuse to some people born and raised to value the protein of only slaughtered animals. To me, it was an assumption that I would raise my child as I was living. If vegetarianism is important to my way of life, then why wouldn’t I consider it for the most important person in my life? There is no greater blessing than good health, and what more could one want for their child? Vegetarianism is a daily gift I give to my son. At the very least, I have given him a character builder as he handles kids calling him names on the playground. Or possibly I have made a future psychiatrist rich when my son someday struggles to overcome the stereotype of being “Twig Boy.” 8/27/09 Making Vegetarian Baby Food My daughter, Maya, turned 6 months recently, on 8/8/09 to be exact. This was a big turning point for me, as it meant the world of food options would open up “big time.” I had been feeding her baby cereal since she was a little over 4 months, and could now feed her protein and other choices of vegetables, fruits, and grains. What I have realized in the past few weeks of my feeding adventure is that there are not a lot of choices of vegetarian baby food with protein, as alternatives to meat baby food. As a native of India, I have been able to rely on my heritage for food choices that I can modify for her. For instance, instead of making regular dal out of lentils, I took some cooked lentil out for her before adding the spices to make dal. I put some in several baby food jars and later added some to baby cereal and breast milk or formula to make a healthy protein rich food for her in addition to vegetables and fruit. This is also vegan. For now, I am raising her vegetarian and include dairy – just yogurt for now. She has loved kefir – plain and peach. I have also used a little silken tofu mixed with cereal and formula or breast milk. Although, there seems to be a little controversy with tofu so I lean more towards other choices for protein. Maya is in the 97% for height and about 70% for weight. I can not attribute her size to her diet, but at least I won’t be accused of hampering her growth with her diet! 8/31/09 My vegetarian pre-teen My 11 year-old son, Colin, has been vegetarian since birth. I had a vegetarian pregnancy and he was born weighing 8lbs 1 oz., 21″ when I was 30. On my vegetarian feeding adventure with him, I experimented with different veggie choices to feed him. At one point, when he was an older baby, I came up with a concoction that was a mixture of baby cereal, tofu, yogurt, and flax oil. He loved it! I suppose he didn’t quite know better. By about the age of 2, he was done with this. A challenge I experienced as I went back to work was his diet at day care. As a 2 and 3 year-old, he was getting enticed by what he would see around him and a yogurt mixture was just not going to cut it! The alternatives they had for him sometimes consisted of two pieces of bread and cheese – not grilled or toasted and no condiments. ***sigh***I’ve been relieved to see that his school has included more and more vegetarian options the past few years. These include bean burritos, pizza, vegetables and fruit. At one point, his choice consisted just of a pb&J sandwich. I’m also relieved to see that there are increasingly more vegetarian choices in general every year. The market is growing and the increasing competition helps us consumers. It’s never been e 9/2/09 Recipe: Baby “Rice & Beans” To make simple “rice & beans” for my almost 7-month-old, I mix cooked and pureed beans with baby cereal. The liquid to get the consistency you want can be breast-milk or formula. This gives my baby grains and protein. I add a little flax meal for more nutrition. It should also help her if she is constipated. To complete the meal, I feed her some pureed vegetable and pureed fruit for “dessert.” 9/27/09 Sauteed diced tofu A simple tofu dish that my pre-teen son Colin has liked is sauteed diced tofu with a little hot sauce. He eats it warm by itself as a snack. Approximate ingredients: tub of tofu, firm or extra firm 1 tblsp oil or butter 1 tsp hot sauce like Texas Pete (something with a little tang) salt to taste or Bragg’s Amino 1 tsp Brewer’s yeast (optional) Directions Drain the tofu and press as much moisture out as you can. Dice the tofu and place in a heated saucepan on medium. I like to saute the tofu a little without grease to let the moisture evaporate. Add oil or butter to stir-fry the tofu until golden. Add salt and the hot sauce. Cook a little more until the hot sauce is absorbed. Brewer’s yeast can be sprinkled on top for added nutrition. Reduce salt accordingly. This tofu preparation can also be used in salads or other meals. One Response to “Raising Vegetarian Kids” Raising Vegetarian Kids [...]

Tá súil agam go Cuidíonn an alt seo i iarraidh a ardú do leanaí a vegetarian. Tá mé ar oscailt d'aon leideanna agus a spreagadh líonrú le daoine eile. Tabhair cuairt agus teagmháil a dhéanamh le daoine eile a ardú páistí vegetarian ar Facebook . Smaointe a snack veggie do na páistí - nachos - iógart plain - arbhair - pasta - torthaí diced - diced cócaráilte veggie burger - diced sauteed tofu Cad is féidir a dhéanamh ar mo mhac preteen - tósta - nachos - scrambled uibheacha - anlann cáise (ó thús) - caoineoga - mac & cáis - veggie burgers AR A ARDÚ LEANAÍ .... vegetarian Roinnt blianta ó shin, i grád mar gheall ar an gceathrú dul síos, bhí clobbered mé go dtí an talamh ag piaraí a bhí offended a go ní ba mhaith liom ithe a sicín. Thosaigh sé i ndáiríre bugging di gur ith mé de ghnáth peanut im-agus-jelley ceapairí. A tamall ó shin, le linn sos lóin, a bhí i láthair a coworker agus mé ag soiscéalaí dogmatic ar thaobh an bhóthair prostituting a reiligiún atá ann faoi láthair. Léirigh mé 'na chodhladh go mo rogha do phríobháideacht agus bhog sé ar aghaidh. Yelled sé rud éigin faoi adhradh déithe gorm, nuair a chlaon mo comh-oibrí thar dom agus d'iarr, "An é sin an fáth a bhfuil tú vegetarian?" D'fhéach mé ar a beagán puzzled, nuair a lean sí, ina uneasy beag. "Tá a fhios agat, mar gheall ar adhradh tú bó." Ghair mé ar an oversimplification mo chreideamh, ach chuaigh sé ar a mhíniú go raibh mo rogha a bheith vegetarian mar gheall ar chúiseanna níos mó ná a bheith ina réamhshocraithe as an gcultúr fhás mé suas leis san India. Tá a fhios agam gur féidir le mo mhac, á dtógáil mar vegetarian, ní mór go mairfidh ainmneacha cosúil le "Grazer Grass" agus an dreaded "twig Boy." Fortunately, chonaic mé dul chun cinn mór i tuairimí i dtreo veigeatóirí a rachaidh chun tairbhe mo mhac turas tríd vegetarianism. An fhianaise ar dhul chun cinn, tá mé faoi deara, go bhfuil mé ag iarradh ar an gceist, "mar sin cad a dhéanann tú ag ithe, leitís?" (Chomh maith le cibé acu cónaí orm i teepee mar "Indiach.") Níos lú agus níos lú thar na blianta . Ar ndóigh, nach bhfuil mórán féidir liom a dhéanamh mar gheall ar an dóchúlacht go mbeidh sé ag deireadh suas le burritos mairteola ionad Bean ag Taco Bell. Beidh sé ag foghlaim an ceacht tábhachtach le seiceáil a chuid bia i mbialanna tiomáint-tríd agus a sheachaint go riamh cosúil chun é a fháil ceart. Nó níos fearr fós, b'fhéidir go mbeidh sé saavy go leor chun a agairt a dhéanamh agus a fháil ar thuras go dtí an India as é ar a laghad. Is féidir le máthair aisling ach ... Ardú ar leanbh vegetarian fuaimeanna a aithnítear le mí-úsáid leanaí le roinnt daoine a rugadh agus tógadh chun an luach próitéine na n-ainmhithe a maraíodh ach. Chun liom, bhí sé ag glacadh leis go mbeadh ardóidh mé mo leanbh mar a bhí cónaí orm. Má tá vegetarianism tábhachtach a thabhairt faoi mo shlí bheatha, ansin ní cén fáth go mbeadh mé machnamh sé ar an duine is tábhachtaí i mo shaol? Níl aon blessing níos mó ná dea-shláinte, agus an méid níos mó d'fhéadfadh ceann is mian le haghaidh a n-leanbh? Is vegetarianism bronntanas laethúil a thabhairt liom mo mhac. Ar a laghad, tá mé a thugtar dó le tógálaí carachtar mar Láimhseálann sé páistí ag iarraidh dó ainmneacha ar an gclós súgartha. Nó b'fhéidir, tá mé déanta saibhir síciatraí amach anseo nuair a streachailt mo mhac someday a shárú steiréitíopa a bheith "twig Boy." 8/27/09 Making Baby Bia Vegetarian Mo iníon, Maya, iompú 6 mhí le déanaí, ar 8/8/09 a bheith cruinn. Ba é seo pointe casadh mór dom, mar a chiallaigh sé go mbeadh saol na roghanna bia a oscailt suas "am mór." Bhí mé léi bheathú arbhair leanbh ó bhí sí beagán níos mó ná 4 mhí, agus d'fhéadfadh beatha anois di próitéine agus roghanna eile glasraí, torthaí, agus gráin. Cad mé amach sna seachtainí beaga anuas de mo chuid eachtra beathú é nach bhfuil a lán de na roghanna bia linbh vegetarian le próitéin, mar roghanna eile seachas bia linbh feola. Mar dhúchas na hIndia, tá mé in ann a bheith ag brath ar mo oidhreacht chun roghanna bia gur féidir liom a mhodhnú ar a son. Mar shampla, in ionad a dhéanamh Dál rialta as lintilí, ghlac mé roinnt lentil bruite amach as a cuid sular cuireadh an spíosraí a dhéanamh Dál. Chuir mé roinnt i searróga leanbh roinnt bia agus níos déanaí leanas roinnt arbhair agus bainne cíche do leanbh nó foirmle a dhéanamh ar bhia sláintiúil próitéine saibhir as a cuid chomh maith le glasraí agus torthaí. Tá sé seo freisin vegan. Chun anois, tá mé ag ardú a vegetarian agus áirítear déiríochta - díreach iógart do anois. Tá sí grá kefir - plain agus peach. Mé úsáid freisin le beagán silken tofu measctha le gránaigh agus foirmle nó bainne cíche. Cé, is cosúil go mbeadh a chonspóid beag le tofu mar sin lean mé níos mó i dtreo roghanna eile próitéine. Maya Is i an 97% le haghaidh airde agus thart ar 70% do mheáchan. Ní féidir liom a lua le méid di aiste bia, ach ar a laghad ní bheidh mé ag cur isteach ar cúisithe a fás léi aiste bia! 8/31/09 Mo vegetarian réamh-teen Tá mo 11 bliain d'aois mac, Colin, bhí vegetarian ó rugadh é. Bhí mé toirchis vegetarian agus rugadh é a mheá 8 £ 1 unsa., 21 "nuair a bhí mé 30. Ar mo eachtraíochta beathú vegetarian leis, experimented mé le roghanna veggie éagsúla chun beatha air. Ag pointe amháin, nuair a bhí sé ina leanbh sine, tháinig mé suas le concoction go raibh meascán de arbhair leanbh, tofu, iógart, agus líon ola. Thaitin sé é! Is dócha nach raibh a fhios aige go maith níos fearr. Faoi mar gheall ar an aois a 2, a bhí déanta aige leis seo. Ba dhúshlán taithí agam mar a chuaigh mé ar ais ag obair ar a réim bia ag cúram lae. Mar 2 agus 3 bliana d'aois, bhí sé ag dul mheall ag an méid a bheadh sé a fheiceáil timpeall air agus meascán iógart ní raibh sé ag dul a ghearradh ach é! Na roghanna a bhí acu dó comhdhéanta uaireanta de dhá phíosa aráin agus cáis - ní grilled nó tósta agus ní tarsainn. *** *** Osna tá mé i mo shaoradh a fheiceáil go bhfuil a chuid na scoile san áireamh roghanna níos mó agus níos mó vegetarian na blianta beaga anuas. Ina measc seo tá Bean burritos, pizza, glasraí agus torthaí. Ag pointe amháin, is éard a rogha ach le ceapaire pb & J. Tá mé ag faoiseamh a fheiceáil go bhfuil roghanna níos mó vegetarian i gcoitinne gach bliain. Tá an margadh ag fás agus cabhraíonn sé an iomaíocht ag méadú dúinn tomhaltóirí. Riamh a bhí sé e 9/2/09 oideas: Baby "Rice & Pónairí" Chun a dhéanamh simplí, "rís agus pónairí" le haghaidh mo beagnach 7 mhí d'aois, mheascadh mé pónairí bruite agus pureed le gránaigh leanbh. Is féidir leis an leacht a fháil ar an comhchuibheas is mian leat chíche-bainne foirmle nó. Tugann sé seo mo leanbh gráin agus próitéin. Add mé béile beag lín do cothaithe níos mó. Ba chóir sé cabhrú freisin léi má tá sí constipated. Chun an béile, mé beatha a roinnt glasraí agus torthaí pureed pureed le haghaidh "milseog." 9/27/09 Sauteed tofu diced Tá simplí tofu mhias go bhfuil mo réamh-teen mac Colin thaitin sauteed tofu diced le anlann beag te. Itheann sé sé te a chuireann sé féin mar snack. Comhábhair measta: tub de ghnólacht tofu, nó comhlacht breise 1 tblsp ola nó im 1 CTA sauce te cosúil le Pete Texas (rud éigin le tang beag) salann chun blas a chur air nó Bragg ar Aimín 1 CTA Brewer an giosta (roghnach) Treoracha Taosc an tofu agus taise an oiread brú amach is féidir leat. Sin gan dochar an tofu agus áit i sáspan téite ar mheán. Is maith liom a saute an tofu beag ramhar gan ligean don taise galú. Cuir ola nó im a stir-Fry an tofu dtí órga. Cuir an salann agus anlann te. Cook beagán níos mó go dtí go sauce te shú. Is féidir le giosta Brewer ar a sprinkled ar bharr do chothú breise. A laghdú dá réir sin salann. Is féidir é seo a ullmhú tofu a úsáid freisin i sailéid nó béilí eile. a hAon "Ardú Kids Vegetarian" [...] Kids Ardú Vegetarian [...]
