How come? I have managed to successfully meet my child's needs, meat free, for 2.5 years now. There are plenty of other protein based food choices besides meat, and none of them carry the same risk of heart, blood pressure, cholestrol issues that a diet 'rich' in animal protein does.

My son's doctor, at the 2 year visit, commented on his 'health' (after learning he was a vegatarian) and said, "I wish all my patients were like your son". Course, maybe he does say that to everyone...but, I took it as a compliment.

Good luck with the BF. Tough road sometimes, initially, but well worth it!
