Thank you, Tiffanie! I’ll look into that book. I’ve been hearing so much lately that the Omegas from vegetarian sources are not absorbed well, but I think I need to just do a little more research. There’s algae-derived Omega-3 and that might be a way to go. I want to be sure we’re not depriving our son of brain food! We take B-12 supplements and I read on this website (I think it was Kim’s blog) that nutritional yeast on popcorn is rather tasty, so we may need to give that a try. :) Thank you again.

Terrific article, Tiffanie. My husband and I have been lacto-ovo vegetarians since 1983, and have raised our now 13-year-old son the same way. I’ve considered a move to a vegan diet, but am concerned about Omega-3 and B-12 for our son, in particular, as they are already a worry with a lacto-ovo diet. Do you have any thoughts on that? Thank you again for a super article.

Fabulous article. THANK YOU.

Well. I just purchased Diamond Crystal kosher salt last weekend after reading this column, and I am sold. What a great tip.

Our son is eleven and has been a lacto-ovo vegetarian all his life. This article came at the perfect time, right when he’s beginning to eat like a growing pre-teen. I’ve printed it out and tacked it on the refrigerator for his reference and mine. Thank you!

What an excellent column. Welcome to Culinate! I’ll be eagerly anticipating your offerings each month.

What a brilliant idea to add this new “Our Table” column. And hearty congratulations on exiting Beta!
