an exciting invitation!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone;

 

I have just received a very flattering invitation from the

Belgian Vegetarian Society (EVA) http://www.vegetarian.be to

write an article for their website and/or publications about

gluten-free vegan diet. I have received this invitation because

of some comments I posted to the International Vegetarian Union's

Science elist last winter. The comments were " clear-headed and

fully alert people are more likely to be at their best, willing

and able to do their best, than when they are foggy and numbed

with opiods. " and that " Because of this, I think awareness about

gluten enteropathy SHOULD be a much more high profile issue in

vegetarian education and promotion. I expect that it would

prevent a significant number of vegetarian " drop outs " . "

 

I am in the process of accepting the invitation and asking for

more details about what they have in mind, how long they want it,

what time-frame, etc. So I haven't much to share with you about

it yet other than that I plan to do it.

 

While we await response from the lady who extended the

invitation, I was thinking it would be good to just start

brain-storming a little on the topic. Any input from anyone

would be great. Just maybe start by saying how long you've been

eating a gluten free diet, why you started, how you found out

that you needed to, what difference in makes in your life, what

references and sources of advice you use... basically, whatever.

I honestly haven't met many other vegans who also eat their diet

gluten-free.

 

Once I have more details from Belgium on what they want, I will

be able to ask more meaningful questions, but I was thinking it

would be good to sort of get the gears rolling. It's a very

scientific-based website, so I will be seeking references for any

claims that I make, if anyone has good ones already collected,

I'd be happy to receive them.

 

Neat, huh?? :-)

why am I not surprised???? You're brilliant Deborah - keep it up!!

I'd be willing to offer my story for ya if you want. Maybe over email

would be more appropriate than on this list - unless everyone wants to

join in on the discussion. (Yes...it's an INFP thing...gotta let

everyone else set boundaries for us because we don't really have any.

Just look at Stephen!)
