I think if the child wants to eat meat, they shouldn’t be denied that right, but they should be told of what it can do to them and be offered meat free substitutes instead. I approve of what Ziggy says, he promotes freedom, and respects what his children want. The problem is that eating meat is the norm in this society, therefore it is easier for them to get it and they may feel like it is extremely unfair that they cannot have it. It is better to at least give them a little and allow them to know that you are listening to them and that you can compromise rather than withholding it at all. I am a pescitarian, but I wouldn’t like my parents for pushing a lifestyle on me, and I didn’t when it came to smoking weed, so I rebelled, just as I would have if I wasn’t able to eat meat. But I believe with the right teachings, a child will choose to be a vegetarian on their own.

Dear Ziggy,
If you know cocaine ain’t good, would you let you kids have some every day till they can decide when they’re old enough whether they want dope or not? It’s about what kind of values you wanna instill in your kids, it’s about what kind or world we aspire to shape or reshape, it’s about right and wrong. It’s about Love.

One Love! One Heart! / Let’s get together and feel all right. / Hear the children (our animal friends) cryin’ (One Love!); / Hear the children (our animal friends) cryin’ (One Heart!), / Sayin’: give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right; / Sayin’: let’s get together and feel all right. Wo wo-wo wo-wo! ~ Bob Marley

Love for all beings.
Be Vegan & Save The Planet.

I don’t agree with the logic. As parents we are required to take THE best care of our children as possible. Giving children meat knowing the problems it causes to our health, the earth and animals is not very responsible.

Kids are going to want things that they are not supposed to have whether it be meat or candy before dinner. What if parent’s took such a relaxed approach to drugs?

As adults it is our job to set the rules and enforce them. By not eating something that was once alive is in no way being mean to your child.

He’s probably just figuring that they are going to try to eat it anyway and by giving them small amounts here and there, maybe they’ll at least grow up to eat a mostly vegetarian diet, which is better than nothing.

It is interesting to think how they ever were introduced to the flavor, though…If you never know it, how would you miss and want it?

It’s uncool. Feeding your kid poison is child abuse. Parents are suppose to teach their kids about nutrition and being kind to animals.I was fed crap as a kid and I got sick all the time.

Oh, no it is sooo not all cool. Ziggy, I have lost some respect for you, man. Just a little, but still…

Just feed them fake meat-but not too often. How do they even know what it tastes like if he’s been veg so long. Did a relative sneak some in and corrupt them?
