From everything I hear once they reach a certain age they'll do whatever they want and particularly the things that piss you off just for the sake of pissing you off
Ah, the joy of parenthood 
For me this discussion isn't about forcing anyone to do/not-do something, although the opposition keeps putting that strawman up. I just won't let an argument in favor of animal products stand unchallenged, I feel I owe that to the animals. What everyone here does or doesn't do is only up to them.
