Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 I am a 50 yr old grandma......vegan 4 years! Never turning back. My first food....3 days old, MEAT. My dad was in the Army and my mom was young and very naive. So they fed me meat, no fruits,no vegetables, no cereals, meat and whatever the formula was way back then. My belief is I am a government experiment, a trial and error baby. They had the opportunity to track my growth for years til 23... My mom said the babies in the nursery were all given different diets to follow. Think about it, a perfect control group. I haven't had any adverse effects, I have been healthy my entire life. In 20 years I have missed only one day of work. It was my choice to become first vegetarian when I thought I could make healthier living a part of my life. After I started reading materials like Erik Marcus " New Ethics for Eating " and " Fast Food Nation " by Erik Schlosser it was no return.......VEGAN for life. Who ever said we needed to consume FLESH anyway? There are more than enough other products floating around out there to do away with leather as well. And why would you give your child DAIRY, no other species feeds their young milk from another species. Some one in this group said it " YOU can get whatever you need from other sources " You do not need animal products in your diet. Anyone aware of how much calcium there is in Oatstraw tea........ one cup 250 mg. Thats a cup of herbal tea! The sources are out there, do your homework and share your results. !!
