Totally Grossed Out By the Smell of Meat Cooking

Totally Grossed Out By The Smell of Meat Cooking Last night I was totally grossed out while making beef tacos for my non vegan children. I almost barfed from the smell. I am seriously thinking of letting them cook their own meat. My son is 17 and my daughter is 9, I think that they are perfectly capable of cooking their own crap. I am not forcing my vegan philosophy down their throats any more. They have seen Fast Food Nation, Supersize Me and I gave read some parts of the China Study for my daughter. My daughter has also read Chew on This and Some of Skinny Bitch. We have watched the videos of slaughter houses on YouTube.

I usually just cook vegan food and I make an additional meat dish. They will eat vegan food but they will ask for meat to go with it. I know I can just stop buying meat, but I will be like these omnivore Mom's forcing their vegan teenagers to eat meat. The kids will eat most all fruits and vegetables including things like bok choy, brussel sprouts, asparagus - they love these. They will eat tofu, beans but not tempeh. Overal their diet is excellent except for meat.I have made subtle hints about how I never get sick and that is due to my diet. I have hinted at my excellent blood pressure and cholesterol levels. My daughter used to eat vegan food and love it but she is trying to be like her older brother. Help!
