Roman Catholic AnswerYes, they can eat meat if it is not a Friday or Ash Wednesday. Not eating meating is called abstinence, and there is no age requirement for that, all are required to abstain from meat on Fridays; you are thinking of fasting, the obligation of which ceases at 69. Fasting means only one full meal on a fast day.

Fasting from meat is for people over 14 years of age. It excludes the elderly and children under the age of 14 because they need the nutrition.

Not eating meat during Lent?

Meat is not eaten on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays during Lent. Catholics (at least 14 years old) in the United States are obliged to abstain from the eating of meat on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays during the season of Lent. Catholics (from 18 to 60 years old) are also obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday. Self-imposed observance of fasting on all weekdays of Lent is strongly recommended. This is where people also give up chocolate, sarcasm, or something else for Lent.
