You can't do anything other than explain to your kids why you think mom is wrong and hope they form a more-balanced perspective. Each parent has the right to raise the children how he or she wants, as long as they are not being abused or neglected; this means that there will be time when the parents disagree strongly about core issues, like politics, religion, etc. and each pushes a different message on the childen; but just like it is legally ok if one parent is a devout church-goer and the other is an athiest and they give conflicting messages about faith, so, too, is it legally ok if the parents disagree about meat or diet.
