What’s a parent to do? You’re a vegetarian, trying to bring your kids up that way, but all the screaming munchkin is asking for is MEAT.
If you’re Ziggy Marley, you give in from time to time.
And Erykah Badu thought she had it bad just because her daughter wouldn’t stop begging for vegan snacks.
Ziggy, musician and son of legendary Bob Marley, spoke with Celebrity Baby Blog and said that although he is very picky about food and tries to keep his children on a vegetarian diet like he is, sometimes he gives in.
“I’m kind of cool — I let them eat some meat,” Ziggy said. “It’s all good.”
There’s always the debate over whether to raise a child vegetarian from birth.
Lord of the Rings star Andy Serkis won’t do it. Diane Keaton’s not too enthusiastic either.
Some say it isn’t fair to enforce any lifestyle on a child until it’s old enough to decide. Looks like Ziggy’s kids know what they want. But should he give it to them?
With the range of fake meats on the market, there’s nothing little Daniel, Justice, Zuri, Judah, and Gideon can’t ask for that doesn’t come in an animal-free variety.
What do you guys think? Is it “all good” for a vegetarian parent to give into a child’s meat wishes occasionally?
