Coen: To convince to not cook red meat.
Mom: To get Coen to eat red meat.
Coen: I strongly believe that red meat is bad for you.
Mom: In my opinion, red meat in moderation is a healthy choice for our family.
Coen: Another reason is also bad because red meat has a lot of fat and I don’t really like eating red meat.
Mom: Most importantly, our bodies need fat and energy to grow and and stay active. A small portion of red meat provides you body with high amount of nutrients and calories. If you eat a slice of melon that is the size of your palm vs. the same size of lean steak, the steak will keep you full longer and give you more energy.
Coen: In my opinion, red meat is also bad for you because it is gross to look at. It has blood and it just looks unhealthy.
Mom: Another reason is that diets that lack meat tend to have a larger portion of carbohydrates which often contain high amounts of hidden sugars. For example, a veggie patty may sound healthy (one of Coen’s favorites), but many brands contain added ingredients such as white rice which is a carbohydrate that can turn into SUGAR…don’t even get me started on SUGAR!
Coen: To sum it up, I still don’t want to eat red meat because I think there are better choices for energy than red meat.
Mom: Red meat in moderation is healthy for our family.

Dear Coen and Tina,
Wow! What a fantastic opinion post. You made it very clear how both of you feel on the subject. I could hear your voices through your conversation. Perhaps you could continue to use red meat in your fabulous dumpling recipe!
Did either of you change your opinion with this post?
Hats off to you both,
Mrs. Fordyce

Dear Coen and Tina,
WOW!!! I think that was a wonderful opinion post. I think red meat is bad for you. Do you like red meat? I think it would taste good but it might not be that healthy.
From your good friend,
Simone
