Book Description

ISBN-10: 0826415830 | ISBN-13: 978-0826415837 | Publication Date: February 6, 2004

This original, insightful, and compassionate book empowers parents to respond with understanding and support to the surprising challenges, the worry, and changes that occur when their young person becomes a vegetarian or vegan. Although how to rear a vegetarian child is not news, addressing the conflicts parents face is. Through five chapters, the topics are arranged alphabetically for easy access. Chapter 4 is by a leading vegetarian nutritionist. A concluding chapter 6 consists of dozens of mouth-watering recipes that are easy to prepare, along with a metric-conversion table.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Very insightful.” —Richard Carlson, author of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

"Adams offers practical tips for sanely discussing vegetarianism with children, asking them to help plan and prepare meals to include vegetarian choices. The book's alphabetical format makes it an excellent reference for parents…Highly recommended for public libraries." -Library Journal

“When my daughter announced (very dramatically, I might add) at the age of 12 that she was becoming a vegetarian, I had many of the emotional, practical, and conflicting thoughts that Adams so deftly addresses in Help! My Child Stopped Eating Meat!…The transition would have been much easier with these two thoughtful books [Help! My Child Stopped Eating Meat! and Living Among Meat Eaters] as our guide…As a non-vegetarian, Living Among Meat Eaters gave me a new-found respect for the tribulations that vegetarians go through…[it] doesn’t preach, but it does tell vegetarians how to wean others to their cause—or even entertain them for dinner—by introducing vegetarian foods in meat-eater language.” –Audubon Naturalist News, July/August 2004 (Janna Bialek )
