Most of us have tried everything to make our children eat well. Some of you, the lucky ones, have had no trouble at all. Time is extremely important but when you neglect spending most of it with your children, it's no wonder disasters occur. Healthy eating can calm your children's energy, sharpen their minds, and balance their moods. Unfortunately, when they spend more time with the TV than they do with their parents, they get attacked by commercials that teach them junk food is good.
I am totally against vegan or vegetarian diets. Not even adults should embrace them, unless they are over 40 and in good physical condition. These patterns of eating deprive children of very important nutrients that can be found in meat. Did you know that meat provides many micronutrients that a growing body needs? Animal proteins give your kids vitamin B12, zinc, calcium, vitamin A and iron.
A few months ago our son refused to see meat, let alone eat it! These days he can't wait to have steaks or grilled chicken. I am a very grateful mother, especially now that I've read the conclusions of a recent study. It seems that children who eat meat develop more muscle mass and get high scores on mental testing. All sensible doctors say children should eat all kinds of meat, as long as it is fresh, lean and cooked in a healthy way. You shouldn't do the same mistake I did during my son's infancy. Feed your baby meat; don't be afraid of it. Read about the various methods of preparation and find a good butchery that trades in quality organic meat.
I know it's difficult being a parent but it's also rewarding once you start doing the right things. I remember the time when we'd come home late and order in, when there was not time for cooking or playing with our son. Everything is different now; we have regular meals and talk more. We only go out on special occasions as restaurant dishes have more fat, sugar and salt.
For all the above reasons I am totally against vegan and vegetarian diets. They deprive children of the wonderful nutrients that meat is full of. I'm not surprised doctors suggest children should eat all types of meat, as long as this is fresh, lean and prepared in a healthy style. What we eat has an undeniable impact on our physical and mental well being so don't hesitate to cook meat for your children. If you still have the chance, give them animal protein when they are babies. I wish I had done it but it's too late now. If you prepare meat correctly, your kids will benefit from all its indubitable properties. There are many good butcheries around that sell quality organic meat; many do deliveries so you have no excuse for not including it in your meals.
