Raising a child as a vegetarian is not only not bizarre, it is a normal part of life for many (many!) people in this world. Just because you can't imagine what it would be like to go without meat, doesn't mean it is wrong. It's not wrong. It's just different.

i completely agree, if they want to feed their kid on a vegetarian diet it isnt bizarre at all, but pulling statistics out of thin air doesnt really help the discussion much. i have nothing against you personally whatsoever (quite the opposite actually) but trying to argue a side without accurate facts is just letting your passions get the best of you. also, i have yet to meet a buddhist that doesnt eat meat.
