My daughter decided she wants to be a vegetarian and I’d like to help..

Beginner Question

Hello, so I am not a vegetarian but yesterday our 5 year old daughter told us she wanted to be a vegetarian because she doesn’t like people killing animals. She’s told us this before, but always got over it when we informed her about the things she wouldn’t be able to eat. This time though, she seems more adamant and ok with the things she can’t eat. I’m honestly not sure it will stick this time around, but if not I do feel that eventually she will become a vegetarian.

All that to say, what can I do to help her on this path? Fun recipe ideas for kids so it’s not too “boring”? Any thing I need to focus on to make sure she’s getting proper nutrients etc that she might not get with a lack of meat? I’m not sure I personally could ever go vegetarian, but I’m definitely open to reducing my meat consumption, especially if it makes my little girl happy.

Appreciate any insights.
