Mommy Eats Vegetarian Mice

Raising a vegetarian child is interesting. For a long time, Sven didn't show any interest, or didn't appear to know that his diet was different. However, in the past few months, he started mentioning being vegetarian -- we suspect that he is getting that at his day care, as he gets the vegetarian alternative when Chicken is served for lunch.

However, after watching the movie Madagascar he started saying "I want meat!" But the question is, does he really understand what that means? The other day, on Santa Lucia day, he asked for "meat" for breakfast. Soon after that Erik came downstairs with Santa Lucia goodies, and Sven picked up a chocolate and said "can I eat my meat?"

He also knows that we eat "veggie"meat substitutes. For example, he knows that we eat veggie burgers. One day he was pretending to be a cat and he said "Are you the Mommy cat? Mommy eat vegetarian mice?"
