When my children were born I was determined to learn to cook with meat. A lifelong vegetarian, I had never tasted it myself, but wanted them to be able to choose when they grew up. I still think that. It should be a choice---a carefully thought-out choice that takes nutrition, lifestyle and health issues into consideration. 

For me, it wasn’t a choice: not really. I never ate it growing up, never watched anyone cook it and simply was never interested. To try to force myself to eat meat it as an adult just seemed silly and unnecessary.
