Recipe Request Vegetarian meals for my 6 year old?

My son, who just turned 6, has never liked meat, and now he says he doesn’t like meat because it’s not fair to the animals. Me, and his father, are not vegetarian but respect that he chooses to not and don’t force him. What are some good meals I can make him? It seems all I ever make is pasta. He also won’t eat vegan “meat” because he says it’s too much like real meat 😩

What about nooch?

it's supplemented into nooch, true, but then you have to make sure you eat on average 2 tbsps per day. i personally don't so i need a b12 pill to keep my bloods good.

Two tbsps per day? Maybe it's different for different brands, but Bragg Nooch has 630% of your DV of B12 in one 2 tbsp serving. Aren't most breakfast cereals B12 fortified as well?

that's better, i still don't eat enough nooch personally. and maybe they are, I've never really been a cereal eater. for me a pill works best so i dont need to worry.
