Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hi Cecilia, I think one important thing to remember about kids is that what they grow up eating is what they will be hooked on for the rest of their lives. The eating habits that most American children are developing today will be responsible for the heart attacks, strokes, cancers, and diabetes of their future. I like the quote by Dr. Charles Attwood that says, " When your children are adults, and in the prime of their lives, who's going to tell them that their clogged arteries malignancies, and degenerating bodies could so easily have been prevented with the knowledge you possessed when they were young? " Here's some " scientific proof " : By age 3, fatty deposits are already forming in the arteries of children on the Standard American Diet (SAD). By age 12, 70% are starting to clog up, and by 21, virtually all young adults on the SAD have fatty deposits in their arteries. Go to www.pcrm.org to find a great wealth of information on the benefits of veg. diets for children. I hope that helps - best wishes to you! Connie Bendickson www.HealthyMomsHealthyFamilies.com P.S. Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 Cecilia Savala-Jackson [savjackson] Saturday, July 26, 2003 6:13 AM Re: Matt Ball's response I have an 11 month old and a newborn, and unfortunately, I get the most flack about raising my kids vegetarian from their father. My husband is a wonderful man, he just happens to come from a workd different from mine. He has asked fme for specific proof that eating meat is " bad " for the kids. My argument that it is bad for the whole world is not good enough for him. Somebody help me please!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Did someone in here say they have eight children? If that wouldn't put you in the land of confusion I don't know what would. But when all is said and done children are really a blessing even though you could want to smack then once in a while. jeanne in ny ______________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.
