But anyway, I am with you on the milk issue for sure. My kids are both allergic and so am I. Painfully so. The girls were raised on goat's milk for a year and then no milk at all. I drink soymilk only.

But my name is Hope, TIA means Thanks In Advance I wasn't wanting links to change anyones mind, I was wanting links so people will stop bashing me on non vegan lists by saying i am a horrible mother by denying my child milk. That's all. But thanks again. I do not look to try and change anyones opinion. Only to get them to see why *I* choose not too. -+- Hope -+- SAHM to Raina Louise 8/22/99 and Baby #2 due Feb 2001 PROUD to be cloth diapering, sleep sharing, natural living, vegan family!
