Poll: Most would not stop eating meat if asked to by their loved one

[vi5]

6. I've been married to a vegetarian for 20 years....

I'm not vegetarian and neither are our two kids. It's never even been a discussion as to whether I would or the kids would, unless I chose it for myself or when our kids are old enough they decide to choose it for themselves.

That being said we do eat much less meat than the average family, and actually outright enjoy and sometimes even prefer meat free dishes, meals, and restaurants to their meaty counterparts.

We have conversations about where our food comes from, understand the environmental impact of our choices and in the end I would say as a family we strike a decent balance. Every time we all choose a meal or restaurant that is completely meat free we feel we've at least done something very small for our health and the environment, and animals. And for us personally this approach is likely much more sustainable for us long term than if we all went completely meat free all the time.
