If a vegetarian starts eating meat will her digestive system be used to it?

Question

Hi I'm a 38 year old mother. I am a big meat eater and so are the rest of my family, besides for my 15 year old daughter. She has never had meat and never plans to. I tried feeding her meat when she was a toddler but she would always spit it up. Now, she hates the smell, look, and I guess the taste of meat all together. I want her to be like the rest of the family. I want her to eat meat. The family makes fun of her for not liking meat and they get mad at her so it is a lose-lose situation because she doesn't like meat. I mean she always has to make her own dinner, ever since she was 10, because all the food that I make has meat in it. I might start sneaking some chicken or cooked red meat into her lunch, veggie wraps, but I want to know if it is safe for her consumption. Please help!!!

     Thank you :)

Dear I think it's better to MAKE your daughter eat what she want, even if she hates the meat smell,try to make her eat grilled fish, for example, fried chicken perhaps, and its good thing that she likes to prepare her dinner itself, ask her if she likes to learn cooking, learn to see how it is cook this and that, nothing will be convinced in something to eat everything. You could show her any account  account on instagram of cooking .. so she will see the of cooking meal .

And for ( but I want to know if it is safe for her consumption.) It is safe if she does not have any health problem when she eat it .. hope to help you

Answer

I think you should respect her choice not to eat meat. If she doesn't like or want it, why make her? 

If it's for health reasons, lack of protein for example, give her beans or nuts. It's wrong to make someone do something they don't want too. Do NOT start putting meat in her wrap's or anything else. Its wrong. If you must do something to make her eat meat (which you don't) don't put it in her meal. 

It could be potentially dangerous for her immune system as well and may want to consult a doctor if she does decide to eat meat.
