Great post. We all love meat, we eat meat 3 times a week, and the other 4 days we eat vegetables. It's important to find the balance. You do not have to stop eating meat just do not have to eat it every day. I have 4 children who like to eat vegetables. Vegetables are healthy and important for their growth and development. When we lived in Croatia we always had our own garden and home grown vegetables and fruits. I miss my garden and relaxed life in the village.
