I will control it until I can't control it anymore.
My hope is that he will be used to eating those types
of foods and that his tastes buds will be trained so
that non-Paleo foods taste yucky and foreign to him.

I have heard of people who eat that way because they
grew up that way.  I will also be ensuring that he
stays healthy and has a good foundation when he is
young.

For instance, my friend is married to an Indian man
who is a vegetarian.  His health is very poor.  My
friend is a low carber and has tried at least
increasing his non-meat protein and decreasing his
refined carbs, and he has lost 20 pounds just doing
that.

But still, he has a life time of vegetarian training..
to eat meat to him is foreign.  In the same way that I
hope that eating cupcakes and candy is foreign to my
son some day.

So if this guys parents can so strongly instill
vegetarianism in a man that is 45 years old and has
never had meat, I can just imagine that I might
possibly have that same effect on my son.  I at least
owe him to try.

Do you have any kids?  Do/would you teach your kids to
eat flour and sugar believing they are poison?  Loving
your children, wouldn't you want to do your best to
feed them the best?  Parents have a strong influence
on their children.. perhaps stronger than you think.
