New to List

[Guest guest]

HI,

 

My name is Karen and I'm new. I'm 24, live in manhattan and I have an 18

month old son Adrian.

I don't know if you do introductions on this list so please excuse me if I'm

violating house rules and I'll try to keep it short.

I started the journey towards veganism a couple of years ago and approached

it from a nutritional standpoint and stopped eating red meat and dairy. I

was still eating fish and organic chicken and eggs.

When I had my son my whole outlook on the world changed. I was a big

supporter of natural child birth and momma baby bonding and considered

myself to be a lover of animals and only when i had Adrian and learned about

our crimes against animals did I see how hypocritical it was to be the

person that I was and still consume animal products.

Although I must say I was pretty ignorant, I thought that all sheep were

sheared like they were in " Babe " and they were only done when it was warm

silly me.

So, long story short my hubby and I are now complete vegans and my son is

99.9% vegan.

 

I do have one question to throw out, are there any other parents out there?

I have one problem my son got a taste for eggs when we were still eating

them. The only way I can get stuff like spinich and legumes (anything other

than oatios) is to scramble them in an egg. Now I buy my eggs from an

organic farmer who tells me that he does not get his chicks from

hatcheries. But still....I'd like to break this habit before Adrian will

actually remember eating eggs. Any suggestions? Besides using *egg beaters*

and stuff like that, I've looked at the ingredients and they seem laden with

chemicals.

 

I look forward to being a part of this group!

 

peace,

karen
