Years ago my 12 year old son became vegan. It was a pain in the arse for me but I went above and beyond to cook vegan food for him. This went on for about a year until we went on holiday to Spain and it was impossible to find vegan food in the restaurants. Poor fucker was living on soup and chips. He was miserable. One night I asked him if he fancied trying one of the meats and he agreed (quite quickly) he devoured half a chicken!
He told me later that he'd had enough of the veganism 6 months earlier but didn't want to tell me because he thought I would feel let down because of all the efforts I went to for him. I was actually delighted as it made my life easier. Children like to please their parents and this is exactly what poor Eduardo is doing . He loved the extra attention but now he is stuck there whether he likes it or not.
