No but since it is her choice she has to realize she will miss out on a lot of good things due to her choices!. If anyone tells you about tofu don't fall for it!. It is tofu and while you can change the taste it is not even close in flavor or texture to real meat!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
an 8 year old does not become a vegetarian without a little pushing and prodding from an outside source, as her parent it is YOUR JOB to take care of your daughter, you should be giving her at least a little meat so you do not permanently stunt her growth!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Just get a real turkey, and then trick her into eating it by telling her that it's tofurkey! :D
EDIT: If she's really that insistent, educate her about how us as human beings evolved to become the ultimate carnivores!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
