New too

[Guest guest]

Hi- i'm also new to the group. I've been veg for 3 years and vegan for a few

months. carol- i was so impressed with your story, i wish i could get my

boyfriend to go veg... it seems like it will be an issue if i have kids,

dealing with doctors and other parents who feed their kids meat. I've heard

very mixed results from my friends who grew up in veg households. i heard

there is a website where you can go and get reccomendations for veg*n

primary physicians and family doctors, but i can't remember what it is-

anyone know? and what are the chances of finding a veg*n doctor that

actually takes my health insurance! i'm thinking of becoming a nutritionist

just so i can have some clout when i spread my views...mainstream docs just

don't have a CLUE when it comes to veg*n diets

Hi, I've tried to post here a couple of times but for some reason it

never works when I post to any of my from e-mail, I

always have to come to the site to do it. Anyhoo, quick intro - I'm

27, have been vegan for two years (went straight from omni to vegan),

I have a 7 month old daughter who will also be raised vegan (although

currently her diet consists mostly of mommy milk - human milk for

human babies!) and my husband is about 90% vegan, he strays sometimes

when he's on the road (he's a courier and spends about 7 hours/day, 6

days/week in his car).

 

I just wanted to say that I was really nervous when we told our ped

that we were going to raise our daughter vegan, I was expecting a

lecture and to have to defend myself but to my surprise he

said, " Great! " He said he didn't care if she ever ate an animal

product in her life and that people should be using meat as a

condiment anyway and we should be getting our nutrition from plant

sources. I must say I was really surprised, but pleasantly so!

Anyway, just wanted to say you may be surprised too.

Hi Jewel and WELCOME!

 

Congrats on not only going vegan, but on your daughter as well!

Sounds like you have a very understanding and supportive doctor!

 

Look forward to " talking " with you.

Joy is even greater when it comes unexpected.

Hello i am new. I have never been vegetarian or vegan or raw for

that matter so this is all new to me. However after going to the

peta website thats all i needed. I had NO idea so many things

contained meat products. I have also read here and there about

eating fruits at certain times and veggies at others. Wheat

grass?? Will you all help me in trying to figure this all out. I

havent gotten any books. I thought about going to the library

later. But if you could give me some help i would be forever

appreciative. Thanks in advance.

Hello Ally,

 

There's as many ways to eat raw as there are raw eaters. For me

spiritually/morally/mentally/physically, I think I need to just eat

plant food as I need it and not worry about the creative ways it can

be done much.

 

Under www.rawfood.com (Nature's First Law) you can find foods and

books for shipment. I had to try their cashews with skin a time ago.
