Some of these kids are in vegetarian homes, others are not. Do you have one of these children in your home? What was your family's response? Have you learned to still eat together? Numerous studies have shown the various benefits of the family sharing at least one meal together a day. Take a look around this site and find at least one meal you can make for your whole family, even your vegetarian kid.
