I don't really like cooked fish either; except for blue marlin. It's usually the thorny bones that discourage me.
Hope you get over it though, BoP.

I'm so upset. My son stayed with my parents last month (he was 3 at the time) while my husband and I went house hunting. My husband and I have agreed that as a compromise (since I'm a vegetarian and he's not) that our kids will eat poultry and fish, but not red meat (beef, pork, etc.). Well, my son just told me that my mother (who is not a vegetarian) took him to a fast food restaurant and gave him a burger! She knows I don't let him have red meat, and my husband supports this because he knows red meat is unhealthy. We aren't overly upset about the fact that he had red meat, but are very upset that while in her care she purposely went against our wishes. I don't think we'll be letting him stay with her again until he's older.

When he's older, shouldn't he be deciding for himself what he wants to eat?

Yes, that's really our plan. He can decide whether he wants to eat red meat, or become a full blown vegetarian, or whatever. But right now he's too young to understand. When he gets older we can explain why we don't eat red meat, and why I don't eat meat at all.
It just irks me that she did that behind our backs! |

Chickens are treated a lot more cruelly than cows and sheep are.

True, as are consumers. Those birds are force-grown with a diet based on hormones and antibiotics, and it goes right into the consumer’s metabolism.

Whatever I can get. I'll drive around until I found you. It'll take a while considering we may not even be in the same country, but no worries.

I'm forced to vegetarian-Queen's University isn't exactly a center of kosher dining Its beans for me until Chrismas...and then 4 months of beans to follow.
Wait till passover-then I'll be venting
