Estory - 2 : Food Habits

[k2s]

Hi,

I think this would be a very common argument/fight in many households. But i need genuine help here ladies, as I dont know what to do here.
I have a baby girl who is 11 months old. I and husband did intercaste-marriage; he is a strict non-vegetarian and I am a vegetarian. I am not opposed to eggs (in cake, omlets, pancakes etc). I too eat eggs almost every other week at home. But, my husband hates veggies and looks for every opportunity to eat non-vegetarian food. And I am okay with that, but he wants to make our daughter eat non-vegetarian food as well. Not because I have never had meat ever in my life, but I keep reading articles about how people are moving towards vegetarianism (no offence to the meat-eaters here), because it is healthier (dont want to start a debate here on this), atleast thats wot the various survey results are saying...

anyways, my husband eats any animal that crawls, or has feet, and he relishes it. I do not want my daughter to eat all that. Red meat is anyways not good for health. When I tried to explain this to my husband, he stopped me saying sternly that our daughter WILL eat meat, no matter what. His argument is: because we are in US and in such a society, he does not want our daughter to be mocked upon or laughed at for not eating meat. His other point of argument is he needs company for eating meat. Huhhh!!! I do not understand why do men keep looking for company for all the bad things they do (no offence to non-vegetarians again..plz read further for what I mean) such as smoking, drinking, etc. You do what you have to do and leave the world alone! Thats my strategy in life. Live and let live. But we are not here to discuss my thinking about life...

I did not quite digest his arguments, but I still respected them, and agreed to give her chicken and fish (I know fish i very good for health, and chicken is meat too, but white meat). But, he stopped me in anger and asked me to never ever start this topic again, because it is final (finalized by only him) that our daughter is going to eat ALL meat--anything and everything on this earth!!!!!

I am more concerned because my baby is a girl, and of late I have heard numerous cases of breast cancer and ovarian and cervical cancers (couple in my family, which were fatal), and I am dead-scared about her health. Also, I have heard being a vegetarian eases menopause (which again is a root cause of various other diseases). Eating meat affects cardio-vascular health as well. My biggest fear is that once she develops a taste for non-veg food, she is never going to stay away from it. So, from the beginning itself, I want to develop good eating habits in her. See this article (one of the many articles I have read) I read today in TOI:

[url="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/diet/Vegetarianism-rocks/articleshow/6712996.cms"]Vegetarianism rocks! - The Times of India[/url]

Please help me how can I explain to my husband (who is extremely hot-tempered and very touchy about this non-veg thing), my thought-process, because he is not even ready to even start a healthy discussion on this topic. Please please please help me here ladies....

Thanks in advance! God bless you all...
