Re: The Vegetarian Torture
CMI - your response presupposes that being vegetarian is a moral choice, which for some vegetarians it's not.
Also, I know people who are religious, or in interfaith marriages, who are not raising their children under a single, guiding religious moral system. They are giving their kids a choice in the matter.
Personally, if one has a strong moral issue with eating animals, I think it's perfectly fine (as with religion) to raise your kids with your beliefs. Provided you are educated about possible health consequences.
Since I'm not a parent, I'm not sure how I'd approach imposing my values on my kids in certain areas.
