Dear Lona, is it the meat you want him to eat or the fact that you need him to get complete protein (a protein that contains all of the nine essential amino acids)?
Our society has made animal ‘the most prominent’ protein out there so we continue to maintain a diet rich in animal protein.
Typically meat has been the most viewed as complete protein but there are many other food items that supplies complete protein like soy, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, eggs from cage free organic chicken, wild caught fish, whole grains etc. You can also combine organic beans and organic brown rice to make whole protein.
Please contact me at www.yuumyspoonfuls.com if you need more help. Your smart baby doesn't need to eat meat to get his daily protein fix.
Have a healthful day
Cheers
