I have to admit that I do eat some fish, so I am not a "true" vegetarian. But I do the best I can.

Well, then I will refrain from sending you articles about mercury levels in fish. I'm glad everyone is along for the ride; I just hope your kid does not get peer pressure, or worse yet, get tsk tsk'd by other disapproving mothers. I'll bet there are certain areas of the country where "forcing" a vegetarian diet on your child is considered child abuse.
