Benjamin wants a vegetarian baby... As meaningful as his intentions are they're just impractical. I'm not a full "meat eater" either, but Benjamin's a full on vegan which is fine. If we don't introduce meats into Charles-Winston's diet soon, his body won't be able to produce the enzymes able to break down meat and I want it to be Charles-Winston's choice what he decides to put into his body - I'm not willing to force him to be a vegetarian and then he won't be able to ever change. There are two sides to every argument though and Benjamin just wants the whole earth to be happy and alive and only eat plants, which is good! Great for him, but Charles-Winston might not (and probably won't) have the same views as his dad.
As well as risking Charles-Winston's decisions, we'd also be putting his health at risk, eating meat is good for a balanced diet - and there are replacements, I'm not refuting that, but so long as I'm the one finding, buying, mushing, blending and feeding Charles-Winston, he'll eat meat. If Benjamin wants to go through all the trouble of finding meat replacements for babies, so be it - he'll have to do that in his free time.
