Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hi I just joined up last night. My DH (Ian) and I are brand new vegetarians. We may go down the vegan path later on. Ian announced his wish to go vegetarian in the car yesterday, saying he didn't like the way a lot of animals, particularly chickens, were treated and that he no longer wanted to eat them. I agree, and I'd like to know more about it. I'm sure none of the animals lead a good life! We have a six year old daughter who has autism, and he wants her to continue eating meat! I don't, and feel that since she loves things like vegetables, beans of all kinds, pasta and rice it would be an easy job to have her eating vegetarian, too. He's worried she won't get all the nutrients she needs. Is there anywhere/anything we can read which would make this clearer? I know many children grow up to be healthier eating a vegetarian diet. I'm leery of her being vegan, I must admit. I like to knit and crochet (I don't use wool; not for moral/ethical reasons, but it just doesn't get cold enough in San Jose to warrant wearing it and besides, it makes me itch!) When we go somewhere that gets cold, I wear polar fleece. Where can we get non-leather sneakers and belts? If anyone can suggest any reading matter for Ian and myself, please do.
