Judging by your reaction to honey, that'd be why she's an ex? he he ;).

Cool it!

The actual definition of Vegan says honey is left to the individuals

conscious. I fail to see the relevance to the meat statement. Why 'Should'

I have a problem with it? What is Rowse, I assume it's an English honey

making company. I consider that FF'ed if that's the case. I wouldn't buy

honey from the supermarket! No one is a perfect vegan, you'll never

completely remove your self from the animal industry. I do my best to.

Eaten mushrooms grown on dung recently? Do I not eat the crops the honey

bee's pollinate? I'm well aware of the bee's do that anyway argument.

Making mistakes about non-vegan food is one thing,

eating honey and knowing you 'should' have a problem with it cannot be

excused by saying your mother's girlfriend collects it.

I know vegans whose actual parents eat meat. Crazy they can be vegan, eh?

My ex girlfriends dad makes honey for Rowse. She became vegan before she met

me.

 

I am sick and tired of people saying I am a 'vegan' BUT

or I am a 'veggie' BUT,

 

Sort it out.

If you believe in something you will do it.

Hannah Have a great rest on your boat .Ive,always fancied that life

style.I rarely get belly ache but if I do its always because ive overdosed

on protein[too many nuts or too much peanut butter] I have to eat 2/3 apples

to counteract the effect.It works for me My children never got colic as

babies yet it seems " normal " for Babies of animal eaters.I think there is a

connection there too. Angie

tho'it meant no cereals.There was no milk,and no cheese no ice cream!!! It

was not as easy as it is now but if you want to do it you will. Angie

If you want to give Jade a sibling without adding any more to the

population numbers, why not consider adopting? I know of some vegans

not too far from you (Letchworth) who have adopted a little girl.

This way a child is brought up vegan who otherwise would not be given

this advantageous start in life, so vegans adopting children is a

very positive choice! If I had thought out the issues before having

my own children, I might have considered it myself, especially if I

had been infertile, but it's a bit late now in my case.

I actually gave this couple your email address because of your plans

to start an alternative families group in your area, and there is

nothing very near them and they are very short of like-minded friends

locally.

They might be contacting you, if they have not already.

 

We meant to stop at population replacement level and have only two

children, but it isn't turning out that way with number three

expected. I am comforted by knowing several vegan families with three

children, and I don't think the actual numbers of population are the

problem, it's how most people choose to live that is the problem.

Vegan farming can sustain a much larger population than omnivorous

farming, so I don't really think that vegans should feel too guilty

if they have more than one, or even more than two children.

It's not really the man's fault that his sperm might have been

unbalanced in favour of producing boys. It could even be down to

chance, and the time of the month you time trying to conceive

apparently can make a difference, such factors as whether you are

trying just before or just after ovulation. Anyway there are natural

ways of increasing the chances of having a girl, but maybe they

weren't written about or scientifically proven at the time.

Vegetarians are more likely to have girls, and butchers are more

likely to father boys, but I noticed that everyone in the group of

vegan families meeting the other day in Nottingham had at least one

boy, but only two of us had girls. Not sure if the figures for

vegetarians apply to vegans, dairy might be a factor. Even with

natural methods, we all know that these things are not altogether

under voluntary control, it's all down to nature or god depending on

your beliefs, and it may be a little unfair to bash the man for this,

although you might well have other reasons of your own for

criticising your ex!

Did you ever consider trying to adopt a girl?

 

I did leave my first husband and that was partly because he wasn't

sure he ever wanted children at all, but he conveniently forgot to

mention his doubts until about a year after we were married, even

though he had known for some time before we were married that I

wanted one or maybe two children. I had told him this and I took his

lack of objection to mean he agreed! Silly me! I felt hurt and

defrauded into marrying him. I bet he knew I wouldn't marry him if he

had said he wasn't interested in having a family, so he was sneaky

and lied by omission.

 

He wasn't a real vegan anyway, because when I left him he started

back on his old lacto-ovo vegetarian ways (I was OK with that for

some time before we married, after which he did go vegan) but the

worst is that he even reverted to eating fish for a while after I

left him (maybe he did it to spite me, but I refused to feel guilty

about his choices, which were 100% down to him, even though he would

not have eaten fish again if I hadn't left him).

 

I hope none of his friends are on this list, eek!! Most of them are

actually true vegans, and very nice people, but I think I was seen as

the bad person by most of them because I left him for my second

husband.

i got pregnant so easily.by the time i realised ex could only make

Great thread... go back look at the discussion topics under this subject

heading:

ethics, poo, sperm, babies, honey, chocolate cake, fry ups, over-population,

dung, environmentalism, jobs .... :`-)

This group is great!!!

By the way I became Vegan overnight. It was very simple, I thought for the

first time about my reasons for eating cruelty products, looked at the

environmental and health advantages of being vegan and didn't look back. I

feel a bit stupid that I hadn't done it earlier. (I still eat things with

honey in).

Is it a problem if a bee does the same? Do they work as individuals with a

central nervous system, or collectively? Do we know? Should we also give up

sugar as its production badly damages ecosystems that in turn causes non

human animals to suffer and some to become endagered. We tread a fine line

with honey, I'll bear it in mind next time I'm shopping. :-(

The reason for me that we do not eat honey is similar to that of free range

eggs.

When a hen comes back to its nest and finds any eggs missing it always lays more

to compensate.

We don't know but incase bees do the same - lets leave them alone, eh?

Honey cannot be all that wonderful.

It would actually be illegal now to discriminate against vegans, and

for social services to tell them that they can't adopt just because

they are vegan would be grounds for suing, because the Human Rights

Act was created to protect minorities from religious discrimination

and general beliefs-based discrimination even when the belief is not

commonly understood to be religious.

I would like to see more vegans using this law through the courts

when they face discrimination. Of course social services can probably

be quite sneaky and try to find other reasons to cite for rejecting

vegan prospective adoptive parents, so the challenge would always be

proving the discrimination.

Unfortunately when our doctor struck us off for our vegan stance in

refusing Jonathan's vaccinations, it was before the Human Rights Act

so I couldn't have taken a test case against the Department of

Health, wish I could have though! I like the idea of taking on and

beating a government department or some big evil company through the

courts and winning. We had the right to have a doctor assigned to us

anyway, but it can be a hassle being forced to travel further to a

doctor's surgery especially with kids, and we don't drive.

 

Prior to the introduction of this law, it was perfectly legal to

discriminate on the grounds of belief or religion, believe it or not,

although there was protection against race and gender discrimination

for several years before this law was introduced.

This law is well overdue and we vegans should use it to the maximum

advantage.

 

I believe that vegans are mostly more fertile than average, because

we don't get all those nasty hormones from dairy products, which is

probably a bit like being on the pill.

It's only a matter of time before a study is done which proves that

we are less likely than omnis and even lacto-vegetarians to be

infertile. The proof is already there when it comes to heart disease,

bowel cancer, etc.

Hey there lesley.

 

Back from hols & catching up on mesages....

It was lovely to meet you at the picnic in London a week ago. For those who

missed out it was a lovely sunny day - Jade & I really enjoyed meeting other

vegans and seeing how healthy and smiley everyone was. Jade especially loved

playing in the sandpit - which she has never been able to do before, and the

woods were beautigul out in blossom & fressh leaves....

 

On adoption, yes - I'd love to adopt - I was adopted myself & it worked

really well. I'd love the chance to give back some to a kid in a similar

situation to that which I was in. The only difficulty I would have, I think,

would be convincing the authorities that my boat is a fit place for a child.

I know that Jade is happy and healthy and benefits hugely from where & how

we live - but when she was born, the health visitors refused to even do home

visits because they thought it was too dangerous for them to get on board

the boat! (Shows how much they cared about Jade.) I don't think veganism

would cause a problem with adopting now the human rights act is in place~

but I think that living in a way that it free is the thing that they would

not accept - although they would probably find other excuses to turn us down

rather than admit this openly.

Its like racism in some ways - discrimination on the grounds of ethics and

life style choice are grounds for discrimination, but never admitted in an

official capacity. (Except by Tory mps in recent debate.)
