She's always been a little weary about meat and probably would be a happy vegetarian. Sorry I don't have any advice about breaking the dead animal news to young ones.

My daughter still decides she is a vegetarian from time to time because she loves animals so much and we are at least 5 years from that first conversation about it. I guess like Rambler, I was told it was part of life and I grew up on a farm. I tried to explain the same thing to my kids, but some are more sensitive than others. I hope it goes well for you :)RebeccaMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735265612705138097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308962174867269063.post-73913709853928313372009-01-14T08:39:00.000-05:002009-01-14T08:39:00.000-05:00MMMMM.

Maybe it will put some distance between the piece of meat on the plate you want her to eat and the cute little chicken.Laura @ My Thoughts-Uninterruptedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836990493552363157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308962174867269063.post-23735944136749801992009-01-13T01:51:00.000-05:002009-01-13T01:51:00.000-05:00The Rambler: Aww sweetie...

My friend back in Hawaii, he used to love steaks and all kind of meat, but ever since he saw slaughter house special on TV cocumentary, he refuses to eat meat. He does eat seafood though... Poor girl..<BR/><BR/>Maegan: I just don't know what to say to questions like that sometimes...<BR/><BR/>bayjb: Thank you - it was good!<BR/><BR/>kaitlyn: Yeah, I remember about your phobia on your blog.

I have some strange phobias as a result. I can't eat anything with a bone in it (reminds me of the animal it came from). I refuse to eat ground beef (many days of my mom gagging as she rolled hamburger meat into burgers). If it kills me (and it might) my children will eat drumsticks and hamburgers, like normal human beings.<BR/><BR/>I think you did a great job explaining to her, aka distraction! Ha. As long as you don't seem freaked out by it I doubt she'll make a fuss about it. <BR/><BR/>That meal looks yumm-y!! :)Kaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550226510140605127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308962174867269063.post-76102952138897506752009-01-12T21:53:00.000-05:002009-01-12T21:53:00.000-05:00Ew that is a tough one to explain but the dinner d...Ew that is a tough one to explain but the dinner does look delicious!Bayjbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544971638369054902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308962174867269063.post-11895321406039978092009-01-12T16:13:00.000-05:002009-01-12T16:13:00.000-05:00OHHH...that must be difficult ...but mmmmmm that l...OHHH...that must be difficult ...but mmmmmm that looks YUMMY!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540367324651819913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308962174867269063.post-61674797617796703332009-01-12T16:11:00.000-05:002009-01-12T16:11:00.000-05:00yum that looks so good!poor juju. when my friends ...yum that looks so good!<BR/><BR/>poor juju. when my friends little sister realized the whole"eating animals thing" she refused to eat anything animal related. steak fish pork chicken anything. the only thing she didnt understand was hamburgers were cow so that was the only thing her mom could get her to eat....until her older brother decided to burst that bubble.Nicole Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444025045886559396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308962174867269063.post-49252457654116622422009-01-12T13:47:00.000-05:002009-01-12T13:47:00.000-05:00looks yummy.

While living there for a bit my father worked it out with a local farmer to have one of his cows "grow" up with us until it was time for it to come home. (If you know what I mean)...I was devastated when I learned Susie the cow was gone and that we had been given some of her meat to thank my father....(shudder)..I cried and cried. I think my father told me that was part of life. <BR/><BR/>thanks for the story.The Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409123245867533569noreply@blogger.com
