Question: I have not eaten meat for a long time, but sometimes I give it to my son when he asks me. Do you think I do a right thing?

Answer: Yes. There are two factors to be taken into consideration regarding children. First — "killed" food is not only unnecessary for them, but as harmful for them as it is for us. The opinion that proteins that children need can be found only in there, is erroneous, but it is often supported even by doctors. Milk and eggs contain complete sets of amino-acids that compose the proteins that we need. And it is milk proteins that are optimal for us to use. By the way, it is well known that "cruelty-free" diet relieves excessive sexual excitement in children and teenagers, decreases their excessive mobility, and so on.

But on the other hand, a child who turns out to be "unlike others" in our society may face big problems, which may be more harmful than "killed" food. For example — growth of arrogance and the feeling of being "select". Or, the other way around — other children can alienate one who is "unlike others".

The best decision that I see is to give children "cruelty-free" food at home, but not to prohibit them from eating “killed” food in other places. And it is important not to emphasize it too much. Give a child a free hand in this.
