There appears to be no phase of living that is opposed to a raw food diet as

long as the above conditions are observed. In the instance that they are not,

then I would say that the most antagonistic phase to no animal intake is that

of reproduction. Mothers do not become mothers. They are sterile until they

include some animal product. Children can be, and often are, born deformed, with

the most common defect manifesting as brain damage to name the two most

outstanding conditions that I have observed.

John,

 

Good grief, this is ridiculous! I am a mother. I have a 7 1/2 year old and

a 5 year old and I am now pregnant again. I have not had any animal products

in my diet for over 22 years. I gave birth to my first child when I was 39

years old. I am pregnant now at 46 1/2 years old. I am currently 100% raw

vegan.

 

My children are vegan and have been from birth. They are healthy and also

gifted in many areas including intellectually. I don't say this to " brag " but

in response to you saying I could not be a mother without animal products in my

diet and that my children would have defects. I am a credentialled teacher

and I know academic giftedness when I see it. My children are fine and I am a

mother and I include absolutely no animal products in any of our diets.

 

There are plenty of other vegan and raw vegan mothers in this world with

perfectly healthy, intelligent children also.
