RE: Vegan info

[Guest guest]

It sounds like you are doing a great job of helping her out. A lot

of parents do not support there children. I have often asked my self

the question why do a lot of vegans who claim such compassion have

so much anger towards other. I live in Oregon and a lot of the vegan

places here to eat are full of nasty people including staff. It is

sad. But not everyone is that way and a lot of us stand for peace

and just want people to know the truth and make informed choices.

Intro and Question

 

 

Hi, my name is Lynda and our youngest kidlet (she's 12) decided a

little

over a couple of years ago to become a vegetarian. Actually, it has

been an

adventure <g> First she decided she would be a " sort of vegetarian "

and

would still eat seafood. Then she decided to be what she informed

us

is an

ovo/lacto vegetarian. She gave it up for a couple of months (added

fish

back into the diet) and then was right back to being the o/l

vegetarian.

 

A couple of weeks ago she decided to be a vegan and then decided

that

she

didn't have enough information but also didn't really like some of

the

stuff

she saw (radical animal rights/vegan). Then she asked some

questions

that I

couldn't answer, so here I am.

 

One of her main questions is why no eggs or dairy? She says she can

understand commercially raised eggs being cruel and factory farm

dairies

being cruel but doesn't understand why she would be attacked (yes,

she

was

attacked) for eating eggs that we raise ourselves since, as she

said,

they

are pets and better cared for and loved than most people's pet dogs

and

cats

(they all have names, they wander at will and lay the eggs all over

the

place and just leave them).

 

So that is my question for folks and maybe someone(s) here can help

us

better understand or are there vegans and vegans?
