For the last 6 months or so Garrett has been deciding that he does not like meat. He has never been a big beef eater. I think the texture of beef was difficult for him. About 6 months ago he decided he didn't like chicken anymore. No matter how small I dice it he will pick it out of everything I make. He will not even eat chicken nuggets anymore. At this point he would still eat pork; ham, bacon, and sausage. Now he will not even eat those. He will still eat hot dogs (I think) and he will eat pepperoni if it is on pizza. Too bad I would hardly consider either of those meat. Sometimes he will eat ground beef in a quesadilla or a burrito. He will also still eat meatloaf and ground beef in a gravy-like substance.
Tonight he informed that he doesn't like cow meat, deer meet, pig meat, or chicken meat. Is this a phase or a life choice? I guess only time will tell. For now I have been adding a lot of hard boiled eggs, dairy products, nuts, and legumes to our diet. I have to get protein in this kid one way or another.

We are actually trying to eat less meat these days. We supplement with veggies, beans, quinoa, and nuts. There is actually a lot more protein in vegetables than you might think. Good luck! I know it's hard to think of meals without meat. (btw, we totally miss you guys)
