My daughter chose to be a vegetarian

I find so many closed minded parents try to tell me that I must have taught my daughter to be a vegetarian, that there is NO way she could have thought of this on her own. Or better yet lets be totalitarians instead of parents and just force them to follow our will instead of having minds of their own.
I'm hoping for a better future so I hope there are more parents out there encouraging their children to make some choices for themselves and not just bend to the will or passions of their parents. Sure its nice to pass on traditions but if your kid gets physically ill at the idea of eating that traditional roasted turkey then lets pick our battles and let them NOT eat meat.
