Letter from the Editor

Lucy Watkins

" The newest addition to VegetarianBaby.com is the Family Fitness section. This

month's focus is on Yoga. I'm not sure if this is the result of coincidence,

self-fulfilling prophecy, a like-minded group of writers, or the universe

throwing hints as subtle as anvils on our laps. All I know for sure is this is

well timed for my family and great information for yours. Let me explain... " NEW

Yoga For Kids (photo essay)

By Lisa Steele

" Kids love yoga!! And why not? It is fun to twist your body into shapes, turn

upside down, do poses with funny animal names and be silly! Yoga also helps them

develop better body awareness, self-control, flexibility and coordination... "

 

Children and Yoga

By Michelle Smith

" In my family, we use yoga for exercise, play, and meditation. My 5 year-old,

Sarah, does not realize the fun we are having is really helping her body. She

does know it is a blast to pretend to roar like the King of the Jungle or to

stick our bottoms high into the air like a puppy stretching... "

Does my child need cholesterol?

By Dr. Michael Greger

" I am raising my granddaughter with a vegetarian diet. My biggest concern is

Essential Fatty Acids: What they are, how they work, and where to find them

By Anna Hays

" Essential fatty acids are one component of a healthy, well balanced diet.

Healthy fats seem to be getting more press lately, especially in the

vegan/vegetarian world, as many people find that they don’t feel their best

eating a low fat, high carbohydrate diet. This may be because many people, even

vegetarians, are healthy-fat deficient... "

Growing Compassionate Kids

By Dana Anderson-Villamagna

" As my 5-year-old daughter and I drove down our suburb's busiest street, she saw

a group of peaceful brown cattle grazing in a lone pasture, now almost

completely surrounded by mega-stores and parking lots. The cattle are one of her

favorite sights. 'Do farmers eat those cows, Mom?' she asked. "

Food For Thought: Crazy English Food Idioms

By Deborah Rubin Fields

" No one ever said (or should have said) that English is easy to learn. Not only

is English grammar difficult, English spelling is in a class of its own. (I

won't even mention what it's like learning to read and write in English.)

Besides all the above-mentioned problems, there are what I call the crazy

" unclassifieds " you come across in English... "

Top 10 Cloth Diaper Myths

By Mona Harris

" Cloth diapers today are much different from those used by our parents. You may

be thinking of using cloth, but stories of pins, plastic pants, and washing with

bleach can be a real turn off. Here are a few of the most common misconceptions

concerning cloth diapers... "

 

 

NEW PRODUCT REVIEWS:Greenleafy's Yoga Chart

By Michelle Smith

" With the hope they would be motivated to practice the poses on their own, I

hung the chart in my daughter Bay's room. Although my youngest is the bigger

yoga fan, I keep finding my older, preteen daughter bending her body into the

poster's various examples... "

Living Tree Community Raw Foods

By Anna Hays

" If you’re at all like me, you like variety in your diet. Living Tree sells

many different varieties of raw nut butter. You’ll never get bored or go

hungry! They sell the staples: almond butter and tahini, which are by far the

best I have tasted. I must admit, I have quite a few Living Tree products in my

fridge, but for the sake of this review, I will focus on their raw almond

butter, original white sesame tahini and California sun-dried olives... "

 

 

NEW BOOK REVIEWS:Like a Fish in Water: Yoga For Children

" This is a wonderful book. The author, Isabelle Koch, uses photos of her

daughter, Garance, colorful illustrations, and stories about various plants,

animals, and shapes to show children the joy and ease of Yoga practice... "

Yoga Kids: Educating the Whole Child Through Yoga

Reviewed by Lucy Watkins

" We are big fans of the YogaKids videos, so you can imagine the excitement when

we received this book. Joy (5) and Shirlee (3) were thrilled to see it and

wanted to get right down to the business of practicing poses... "

Living Alphabet

Reviewed by Melissa Graham-LaMure

" Living Alphabet goes far beyond our concepts of the alphabet. Introducing our

children to the alphabet may seem simple. We might find ourselves saying, " Down,

down, and across " to describe the letter A; or we might sing the bright and

cheery ABC song. In Living Alphabet, however, each letter is carefully and

beautifully drawn into a picture... "

The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook

Reviewed by Amy O'Neill Houck

" I never owned the original Uncheese Cookbook, but it is so often cited in other

vegetarian cookbooks, I knew there was a gap in my collection waiting to be

filled. This newly updated version, The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook by Joanne

Stepaniak, marking the 10th anniversary of its predecessor, is now available to

readers... "

The Monastery Cookbook

Reviewed by Amy O'Neill Houck

" Having never heard of the Zen Monastery Practice Center, I was very curious to

begin reading their cookbook. It turns out to be a simple, whole foods cookbook

made up of the monks' favorite recipes... "
