Your Kids Are Not Vegetarian

Welcome to my first blog ever, and my first post on my first blog. I figured I would start out with something pertinent to all of our everyday lives: dumbass parents. I was catering a private party and a woman came in with her two kids, who were about 6 and 8 years old. She was two hours late, the kitchen was closed and there was barely any food left, but being the masters of service we are, we offered to make her kids a couple plates of food. We asked her what she wanted as we described what we had to offer, including some delicious ham, turkey and prime rib, and she punctuated her snappy request with "Oh, and no meat because they're vegetarian." Listen lady, your kids are not vegetarian. 

You may choose not to eat meat, or feed your kids meat, but being vegetarian means you choose not to eat meat for yourself. Kids that age don't even know how to make a PB and J, how they hell are they supposed to have aptly weighed an issue that society had failed to agree upon. Are they doing it for the animal rights? Doubtful. We never see the kinds of animals we eat in public, probably because they are pent up in slaughter houses. Your 2nd grader doesn't care for animal rights. Then it's for the health right? Nope. Elementary school kids don't need to worry about colon cancer as much as they need to worry about getting enough nutrients to grow. Let's cut the BS here. Don't deprive your kids by not letting them eat meat. Tasty, buttery, tender, rare meat. mmmmm... 

Remember what PETA really stands for - People Eating Tasty Animals. Your 6 and 8 year olds are not vegetarians.
