Good evening - Part 1

[Guest guest]

Ri, there are some people who think that if your

children don't eat meat they will become lethargic and

thinly looking. Well they should really take a good

look at me cause I've been a vegetarian all my life

and I'm hardly thinly looking. A little lethargic but

that has nothing to do with me not eating meat. I have

CFS and no matter what I do I get so worn out and very

sick sometimes afterwards. There are enough very tasty

vegetarian dishes that when prepared beautifully and

tasty, that one doesn't have to resort to meat at all.

That's my 2 bits in this.

 

There are carob chips that can take the place of

chocolate chips. Just a suggestion, Elizabeth and

Shawn. It may be totally the same as chocolate chips

but it is a little bit healthier.

 

Best of luck to you GV. I hope all goes well at the

preschool halloween party and veganizing it. That's

so cool.

 

Hi,Andy. Welcome to the group here. You'll get a lot

of great recipes here that's for sure.

 

I'm the same way P_T. When I first married my husband

he had asked me if I had any qualms about meat. I told

him that if he wants meat he is going to have to cook

it himself for I will not touch it. He had cooked meat

for himself once in awhile. Around Christmas we would

have a turkey. Well after last year he had open heart

surgery and had a pig valve put in and what the

doctors did not expect was that he also had a plugged

artery as well. He almost died on the O.R. table. So

he had an emergency by-pass done as well. That changed

his whole outlook on meat to the point that he really

is getting away from it more and more now. He has also

cut down on margarine cause he doesn't want the

cholesterol. His whole diet has changed drastically

cause he even said that if he's not careful it will

come back. I guess that part scared him. He is leaning

more and more now to vegetarianism but I'm trying so

hard to get him to enjoy Vegan recipes and that is

going to be slow I guess.

 

My personal feelings are this, Rita, that by serving

meat to your child is being cruel. Cause the being

Vegetarian, you are building a stronger body. Not sure

if you know this and maybe you do and maybe the other

do also. But did you know that by eating meat it does

something to your bones. I think it is eating away the

calcium that your body needs so much. Now if that is

being cruel to your child then so be it. I would

rather her eat healthy vegetarian foods then to have

something in her that will eat away the calcium on the

bones. Also, meat stays inside your body longer and

makes it very hard for it to go thru your intestines.

Now tell me do you want to have meat that stays in you

bowels for a long time before it goes thru. SO I guess

that is being mean to your child. If it is so be it.

Sorry Rita but it makes me so mad that people think

that by not feeding a child meat you are being a big

meany. All I can say is this. Be mean to your child

and give her the best healthy diet that you can give

her. You'll never regret it. From this mean mother

to my kids but cared so much for them, JC
