Vegetarian Childrern: A Supportive Guide for Parents

Sharon Yntema helps parents to guide their children to healthy, happy dietary choices. In this practical and inspiring handbook, the author uses careful common-sense and the wisdom of her own experience, as well as that of other vegetarian parents, to cover development issues, the pressure children face from friends, the introduction of new foods, and the busy family's approach to making quick, appetising meals.

"The strongest statement of caring you can offer is a healthy vegetarian diet." Yntema is a committed speaker for the whole realm of vegetarianism, encompassing animal rights and world hunger as well as simply providing an alternative to eating meat, poultry, and fish. She covers a lot of territory, meandering from manners at mealtime to child development (five pages), peer pressure, the history of vegetarianism, children's health, and moral development and social responsibility. Books are listed throughout the text as well as in a bibliography. For comprehensive collections. Patty Miller, New Hampshire Vocational-Technical Coll. Lib., Laconia
