Eating Preferences and Child Custody Disputes
In October 1995, The Simpsons aired “Lisa the Vegetarian,” in which 8-year-old Lisa Simpson decided to become a vegetarian after visiting a local petting zoo. Her decision is a source of concern to her mother, and of amusement and ridicule to her father and brother when she refuses to participate in Homer's barbecue. By the end of the episode, with some words of wisdom from Paul and Linda McCartney, Lisa decides to stay true to her vegetarian principles, which her parents reluctantly accept. The episode ends with Homer giving Lisa a “veggie-back” ride into the sunset.
Although vegetarianism is still viewed with some skepticism, it is becoming an increasingly popular diet, whether for ethical, religious, environmental or health reasons. A 2003 national survey estimated that 3% of the population (or 5.7 million people) consider themselves to be vegetarians. The diet is becoming even more prevalent with young adults and adolescents. In a 2000 poll, 10% of 25-34- year-olds indicated that they never eat meat, and 6% of 6-17-year-olds also report abstaining from meat. School cafeterias now routinely provide vegetarian alternatives; McDonalds now serves vegetarian burgers in select locations; and most supermarkets carry a wide variety of vegetarian products.
