I’d say do your own research first and then be honest with your child. It’s a topic that is clearly important to them right now and lying about the reality behind meat will only build distrust and resentment when they find out eventually.
Should (and that’s probably a big should) your child decide against eating animals, please be supportive and don’t judge them for it – they’ll have to explain their choice everywhere they’ll eat anyway and having at least a parent that understands would help a lot.
