So Your Child Wants to be a Vegetarian!

What happens when your child says, "I want to be a vegetarian!"?

INFOGRAPHIC: WALL STREET JOURNAL

First, don't worry! Your child isn't alone. Interest in vegetarianism, or in eating less meat in general, is on the rise in the US, fueled by positive health studies, animal rights, environmental concerns, and even popular culture. However, your child may show interest in cutting out meat for less complicated reasons, with taste, texture or a love of animals as distinct possibilities. Whatever the reason, you may have concerns that your child could miss out on vital nutrients by omitting meat from the menu. The good news is that with some education and training, your child can easily meet or exceed recommended nutrient allowances.
