SWALE - vegetarians and eugonadal males - my friend's son is a lifelong vegetarian

Swale what you said about veges - thats very worrying - my best friend is a vege and has brought her children up as veges. Her son is 6 life long vege, so is this going to male him at risk of being eugonadal?

The prefix "eu-" means "good". Therefore I think you meant to say "hypogondal". I disagree wholeheartedly with the vegatarian notion. Have you ever seen one who looked really healthy?

I would prefer the young man be allowed to grow up healthy, then make an informed decision later on in life about his eating habits.

Yes I meant hypo sorry about that, I agree totally Swale - he should have been brought up regularly then made his own decision, he is small for his age, though his vegetarian sister is big for her's, she doesn't force it on her children - if they come out with me I buy them meat dishes if that's what they ask for, they are just both happy having vege meals most of the time at home. I will have to talk to my friend. Thanks for your advice bro
