Honesty is paramount.<br/><br/>All the knowledge in the world is great, but it won't protect children from cruelty. I remember other kids ruining my food at school by adding meat or dairy. I remember teachers expecting me to "just take the pepperoni off the pizza"... <br/><br/>I know we can't completely protect children from cruelty. But I want to build up strong defenses to it, defenses that work. <br/><br/>I think humor is great for that. I should add "vegan jokes" to my list. Vegan jokes and honesty. Thanks :) Yes, I agree.

A way I delt with my family & my peers was to always point out what food really was. I.e. "that cheese and ham is actually PIG and ham." I've noticed with the kids I babysit, that once they recognized that their hamburger was Daisy the cow - they didn't want to eat it anymore. Its important to know where food comes from...
