re: Kids demanding gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets at home...

One of my friends who is actually gluten free (he's been allergic since before this fad started) told me that tofu apparently increases estrogen levels in your body. I don't pay attention to such things, but it's a good enough reason for me not to eat something I wouldn't eat anyway. It's something worth looking into regardless if it's on the menu.

Otherwise, kids are probably just trying to find their way by experimenting with ideas. I don't see why you can't let them try it out by giving them some minor options, but it wouldn't stop me from eating turkey tomorrow.

Here's a snopes article on the tofu/soy/estrogen thing. Apparently it's kind of legit but inconclusive.
