RE: I Need Advice on Healthy Eating, Kids, Veganism,Saving Money & Non Food Items

[Guest guest]

That's a tough one ... once they have been used to that way of life ... I

think, the way to do it, is explain why YOU changed your eating habits ...

If you talk about the ethical aspect, I think the kids will relate to that

very well ... kids can be a lot more compassionate than grown ups (generally

speaking) ... and if you tell them about the sadness and pain involved in a

" happy " meal ... I think they will see the picture much more clearly.

 

In so far as the junk food is concerned ... I don't know ... my mother

didn't keep a lot of that around ... but, I think more along the same lines

as above ... if you explain why you are changing your diet ... (from the

health perspective) ... it may take a little while longer ... (I think kids

will take more heart to the " killing of the food " argument when you talk

about meat eating, but may have a little more trouble understanding the

" health aspect " when you talk about eating less junk food) ...

 

For food ideas .. check out Anji's recipe page

....http://www3.sympatico.ca/anji/recipes.html there's tons of info on

veganism and food ideas there.

 

Health food will continue to be expensive until more people buy the stuff ..

hey, look at Soya milk .. used to be 3 bucks a litre .. now I can get it for

$1.79!!!!! more people drinking soy, means more soy milk production, means

decrease costs for mass production ...

 

Take care!

I have a four year old and a 2 1/2 year old

and I have found that being honest with my children

in regards to what they are eating has been the

best route. My 4 year old understands what he

is eating when eating pepperoni pizza and corndogs

because of what I have told him. So far he has

preferred not to eat his animal friends. I know

if I had known the truth from the time I was a

child, I probably would've been Vegan or at least

Vegetarian since then. Another reason for cutting

out dairy products is because of my son's congestion

and asthma. My son's diet consists of Soy or Rice

milk and tofu cheese sandwiches. He was a very picky

eater even before we became Vegetarian.
