Hey Mom, hold the beef (and chicken nuggets, and fish sticks)

When people hear about children being vegetarians it is frowned upon, but undoubtedly it is completely safe. The CDC estimates 1/200 kids are vegetarians, all of the veggie options directed towards children are making it way easier. If vitamins and nutrients are the issue, protein, iron, vitamins b12 and d and calcium are all found in sources other than meat. If there is still a concern, there are always multi vitamins.
