Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I agree, that I can't answer this questionnaire because my exhaustion (due to lack of sleep) will seem to indicate that vegetarianism is " bad " , when in fact most omnivores comment regularly on how much more energy I have than they do. I think your child needs to add a few more quantifying questions, such as " how many hours do you sleep a night? " and " how many different activities are you involved in on a daily/weekly basis? " .

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 i am in agreement. i have a newborn and a toddler, and fibromyalgia, so i am tired constantly, and while i honestly believe that the only reason i'm functioning as well as i am is because of my diet, that won't be reflected in the limited questions. but if my answers will be helpful at all, here they are. Science questions On a scale of 1 to 10 1-not at all 2-rarely 3-sometimes 4-most of time 5-always How energetic do you feel when you wake up? 3 How tired do you feel at bed time? 4 (the scale doesn't really fit this question or the first) Do you feel tired during the day? 3 After lunch, how energized to you feel? 5 How often do you to get headaches? 1 (not at all since i went vegan - before that i had pretty typical FMS headaches) How often do you get heartburn? 1 How often do you exercise? 4 (i am pretty recently postpartum, so not exercising much yet, but this answer reflects how often i usually exercise otherwise) Do you get tired while exercising? 4 (isn't that the point?) Are you forgetful? 3 How healthy do you believe yourself to be? 4 If you know, what was your cholesterol level when it was last tested? 110 Your Triglycerides? i think around 85; don't remember exactly Your blood pressure? 100/70 Are you a vegetarian (no beef, poultry, fish)? yes (vegan). Are you an omnivore? heck no. i am assuming that your daughter will need some identifying information? i am female, white, 23, 5'11, 175 lbs., vegan for 2 years.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hi Carol, I am a veteran parent of seven science fair projects (K-6). It sounds like your daughter is planning a demonstration, not an actual experiment. She may want to run her plan past her science teacher.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 She's only 12. So, the statistics have to be very simple. My husband wants her to build it into an intel entry by the time she is a senior in high school but for now it is only a 7th grade science project. I really appreciate your taking a look at it though. Anyone else who could help would be greatly appreciated.
