Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hello! My name is Shelly, and I am a 24 year old mother from Kansas. My son is 3, and my baby girl will be born in April. My husband is 25, and not a vegetarian. I went vegan about 2 years ago, then after lots of stress from family members, including my husband, gave up and went vegetarian. My husband and his family thought I was endangering my son by feeding him a vegan diet. He was growing normally and putting on weight, but oh well. Eventually I went back to meat eating. Recently I have not been able to ignore my morals, and am in the process of eliminating all animal products from my diet and life. Meat is out all the way, now it's just a matter of using up all the food in my kitchen that has milk/eggs in it. As for my children, they will eat a vegan diet in my house, but I will not push it otherwise to avoid conflict with the in-laws. I figure I will teach them why I do it, and when they are old enough they can decide form themselves. Anyway, it's nice to be in this group, and I hope to learn a lot from other parents!
