We are partially there...we eat fish but I don't prepare meat (chicken, beef, pork, etc) at home and I never eat it. My husband and 1 of the kids will sometimes have meat when dining out, which is fine by me. I don't like the taste of meat and I won't eat anything with bones or blood--just never had a desire to do so. I always refused lamb chops, roast etc as a child--the rareness always put me off. I ate chicken for a long time but really got put off by the stories of antibiotics, hormones, etc.
I had low iron for a long time but it's been fine for the last few years. I'm not sure if I vary my diet more or if it's the fortified foods--probably both. I took a supplement for awhile and hated it-I had a constant hungry feeling.
I let the children make up their own minds and never forced it on them--I explained that Mummy doesn't care for the look/taste/smell of meat and so I don't cook it or eat it. They have had their carnivore phases but for the most part it's short-lived.
