Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Here's another article about the dangers of raising children vegan. There are a number of points in this article that I think are crying out for a response -- i.e. it talks about animal proteins as " high biological value " proteins, and it says non-animal proteins must be combined and makes it sound as though that's highly complicated. It also says " Without sufficient iron, vegans and vegetarians can become anaemic. " -- hmm, seems to me that ANYONE can become anaemic without sufficient iron, and I believe I have heard that anaemia is no more prevalent among veg*ns than the general population -- please correct me if that's not true. It also says that calcium is often lacking in vegan diets and needs to be taken as supplements. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-wellbeing/healthy-living/how-\ our-vegan-diet-made-us-ill-848322.html Urg, it's no wonder our families freak out when we go vegan with all these negative articles full of half-truths or full-out wrong information! Anyone out there with facts at hand and a bent for advocacy who likes to respond to things like this? Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
