A vegetarian diet fits well with concerns about feminism and the environment, human health, animal health, and raising healthy children. This talk provides some bridges for new mothers seeking ways to bring their own dietary and environmental ethics to the table for their infants and toddlers.

This talk will provide books, recipes, food staples, and other resources that have been helpful in providing nutritious meals for my infant-now-toddler. The presentation also includes a section on vegetarian stories for toddlers, who get ethical nourishment from having stories about other children who don't eat animals, and provide picture-book understanding of the reasons behind our food choices.
