Adopting a vegetarian lifestyle approximately 15 years ago, my oldest daughter continues to hear this comment from her 90 yr. old grandmother, (my mom)…“Oh honey, just a little bit of chicken won’t hurt!!” She was in her early 20′s when she made the decision to embrace vegetarianism, and was no longer living at home. At times during her childhood (as my picky eater) if she had the option of choosing her own meals, spaghetti, pizza and mac and cheese would
