Kids not Vegan

I am not putting my kids (ages 7 & 11) on the vegan diet and to tell the truth I've been making bacon for THEM for a couple of years now and do not have ANY, even though I love bacon. As for my husband, also not on vegan diet, but I wish he would try it. At least I am exposing my children to good eating habits. Today my daughter, 7, actually wanted to try artichoke leaves (the fresh steamed kind you strip off with your teeth) She liked it and ate half of it. We dipped it in melted Earth Balance Buttery Spread. No cholesterol.
