Vegetarian Star

Singer Paula Cole, most famous for her 90s pop hit “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone,” is featured in the September 2011 issue of Vegetarian Times.

Cole gave up eating meat at 14, but says she allowed her daughter Skye to make the decision when she was ready.

“She’s not interested in meat, but I allowed her that decision. I believe that living vegetarian is one of the best things you can do for your kids, and one of the greatest ways for your soul to shine.”

When a child finally does make the decision to go veg, what factors motivate him to do so?

A Harvard doctoral student named Karen Hussar explored those reasons in a study involving 45 children, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The researcher discovered that although many children gave up eating meat for moral reasons, they don’t necessarily judge their meat-eating family and friends as bad people.

“For those that come from families where they’re the only non-meat eater it may be hard for them to be judgmental of the people they live with because they’re their role models,” Hussar said.
