Hi Jami,

My name is Jamie too!

 

Hey- for a 1 year old, doe she eat raw veggies or anythign yet? I'm not sure

what they can eat..?

 

I would think good finger foods for babies ( toddlers...) woudl be like a

peanutbutter-tofu hummus to dip carrot sticks or apples in...? or raw

peppers/cucumbers..?

 

also in the Enchanted Brocoli forrest cookbook- they have these thigns

called Tofu -nut balls.. Big hit with kids! ( and me!)

made form rice, ground almonds, tofu and soy sauce and breadcrumbs. I have

no MC, so I can't[ post- but you may want to look for it.

 

Have fun with the 1year old

Hi Everyone,

 

My name is Jami. I've been a vegetarian for 15.5 years!

 

I enjoy cooking, but have had much less time to do so since the birth of my

son, who is almost one! As such, I'd love to see/get some quick and easy

recipes/shortcuts on this listserv. Also, my son is a vegetarian, too...so

if there

are any recipes suitable for him (eating mostly finger food), that would be

doubly great!

 

THANKS!

 

Jami

Are you having any luck with the ADHD? I have that and would love to hear

Hi, my name is Kelly. I am thinking about becoming a vegetarian,

and right now I am eating very little meat. My three children do

not eat meat. They are naturally vegetarian......they don't eat

meat, and they don't like it. Last weekend my husband (who loves

meat by the way) tried to give all three of them bacon.....and all

three of them rejected it and said YUCK!

 

My husband and I have two adopted daughters, Lexi who is 6, and

Mariah who is 4. We also have a foster daughter Katrina who is two.

 

About two months ago we went to an all organic diet. I did this

because Mariah was diagnosed with ADHD. In an effort to help Mariah

I started doing a lot of research, and learned that a lot of crap

that is in the American child's diet affects the symptoms of ADHD.

So now I've got all three girls eating very healthy and taking

supplements.

 

I myself am developing some health problems, so adopting a healthy

lifestyle I think is important for the whole family.

 

My kids are eating mostly fresh fruits and vegys, homemade

smoothies, whole grains, beans, and nuts. I'm interested in what

everyone is feading their kids. My girls don't drink cows milk

either, Mariah is lactose intolerant. I have been putting goat's

milk powder in their smoothies to get some extra calcium in them.

They drink water too.

 

Since I am brand new to this.....I'm still fumbling around trying to

figure it all out. Any input anyone has would be greatly

appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kelly

Dear Kelly

 

I am totally supporting you.

 

Being a vegetarian for 8 years, I feel I have been living in a state that free

from illness.

 

Compared to the meat eaters, which I always hear them telling me one illness

after another, I feel I have made a right choice.

 

But I also hear problems arising from vegetarian, not enough nutrients.

 

Though reading, I learnt that I cannot just live on few type of vegetables,

beans and nuts. We have to eat many types of foods in one day. So just mixed a

little of all things.

Way to go Kelly! Adopting children and feeding them well. I know it is a

tough thing to do sometimes in this day and age. They are exposed to so much

junk food at school, friends home, etc.. ( I have two adopted children in my

It's a process. She was just diagnosed in August. It has been a challenge to

say the least. I think changing her diet to organic, adding supplements,

removing dyes and corn syrup and taking her to the chiropractor have helped her

over all health. But putting her on Concerta a week ago is what has really

helped the adhd. I did not want to do it. I wanted to go the drug free route,

but it became apparent she really needed the medication. Now it's as if she has

the ability to stop and think about what she is doing and it has chilled her

out. It's certainly not a perfect answer, but things have been a lot smoother

in this house the last week.

This is something I am working on. I need to do some research so I make sure

that the kids and I are getting all the nutrients we need. I'm fairly certain

the kids are getting what they need, but I need to work on better nutrition for

myself. And if I could convince my husband to stop eating big slabs of steak

and drinking whole cow's milk he would be a lot better off......he has type II

Diabetes and just has not made the connection yet. He thinks that by eating

meat and cutting down on carbs he can control his sugars and lose weight.

I am on a few adhd boards....one of them is an adhd drug-free board. There are

several women on there that have successfully treated their childs adhd with

just supplements, organic diet, removal of corn syrup and dyes, and adding fish

oil to the diets. I wish I could say that was us....no drugs....but I am

hopefull for the future. Some of the people have done neurofeedback or

biofeedback and had great results.....this is something I would love to do with

Mariah but it is very expensive. Some do the Feingold diet if you have ever

heard of that? I personally don't know much about the Feingold diet to be

honest. Plus they do a variety of other alternative things.....homeopath,

chiropractory, toxic cleansing etc. I've been taking the girls to the

chiropractor. Mariah was a chronic bed wetter and since she's been going to the

chiropractor it has stopped.....the poor kid was all out of alignment.

 

I throw different nuts and seeds into their smoothies each day. One day I might

do sun flower seeds another day I'll throw some almonds in. They don't know the

difference....all they can taste is the berries in the smoothie. I throw all

kinds of stuff in those smoothies they don't even realize it. Two of my kids

will eat nuts on their own, and Mariah my 4 year old will not.....although the

kid is obsessed with peanut butter so I guess it evens out. I'm careful yet

what nuts I give Katrina since she is two and I don't want her to choke.

There are 2 great books about diabetes and vegetarian diet. One is by Neal

Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. I think it is

called " Prevent and Treat Diabetes " but I'm not sure. You can buy it from PCRM

atthier web site. The other is by Brenda Davis. I don't remeber the name. You

can look it up on Amazon.com under the authors name. I bought them when I was

pregnant the last time because I had gestational diabetes. My diabetes educator

agreed with me that the Brenda Davis book is really good and she is not a

vegetarian. Good luck trying to change his eating habits. I have been trying

with my hubby for many years to no avail. His father became diabetic at 40. My

husband is now 41 and at least 30 pounds over weight.

Hi Kelly

I think you did the right thing and I 'm glad that it helped her. If your child

had diabetes you would give her insulin, right? Sometimes medication is

necessary. None of us wants to give our kids meds but when they need it we have

to realize it and do what will help them. I say good for you for doing whatever

you had to to help you child.

smoothies, whole grains, beans, and nuts. I'm interested in what

everyone is feading their kids. My girls don't drink cows milk

either, Mariah is lactose intolerant. I have been putting goat's

milk powder in their smoothies to get some extra calcium in them.

They drink water too.

 

Since I am brand new to this.....I'm still fumbling around trying to

figure it all out. Any input anyone has would be greatly

appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kelly

New Here!

 

 

 

 

Hi, my name is Kelly. I am thinking about becoming a vegetarian,

and right now I am eating very little meat. My three children do

not eat meat. They are naturally vegetarian......they don't eat

meat, and they don't like it. Last weekend my husband (who loves

meat by the way) tried to give all three of them bacon.....and all

three of them rejected it and said YUCK!

 

My husband and I have two adopted daughters, Lexi who is 6, and

Mariah who is 4. We also have a foster daughter Katrina who is two.

 

About two months ago we went to an all organic diet. I did this

because Mariah was diagnosed with ADHD. In an effort to help Mariah

I started doing a lot of research, and learned that a lot of crap

that is in the American child's diet affects the symptoms of ADHD.

So now I've got all three girls eating very healthy and taking

supplements.

 

I myself am developing some health problems, so adopting a healthy

lifestyle I think is important for the whole family.

Hi Tammy

 

Welcome to Vegan Chat. I hope you enjoy it here.

 

I presume that you are intending eventually to give up eating fish as

well. Fish was the last animal we gave up eating. I can't think why

though.

Well, maybe because you don't think of fish as being factory farmed? (They ARE farmed, however, and it is considered a polluting activity.) I still eat sessile invertebrates like clams on rare occasions. They don't have the same nervous system as a more active animal because they are sessile.

Yes Eventually I am giving up fish. Some people are easy to just quit cold turkey but I had a hard time doing so. It is amazing how much more "Fresh" I feel everyday. It is hard to describe.

They are still animals though - and a person cannot call themselves vegan or vegetarian if they are eating them. Incidentally a friend of mine runs a society for the protection of crustaceans.

Well, clams are mollusks. In any case, I think in terms of cruelty, not labels. I think the horrors of factory farming are such that it makes little sense to eat eggs and milk--if anything, MORE cruelty is involved, unless you buy directly from some farm that is humane. Drinking milk from the grocery store is a lot worse than eating a deer killed by a hunter, since at least that deer had a life before it was killed. But of course, it is preferable to consume no animal products.
