Hi Paola

 

Good to hear that you want to be a vegetarian once

again. In my opinion its very difficult to convince

any one to become Vegan or even vegetarian unless and

until the person feel that way one their own. But here

are somehting that you could use.

 

1. there a number of vegetarians in this world,

healthy 2. I'd like to give you my example, me, my

husband and rest of our family have been vegetrain

(not vegan, we take milk) since birth. and i had my

son 2 yrs back and there were absolutely no health

issues at all.

3. My dad was in the Air force and he still was able

to stay fit without consuming meat.

4. also, I know some friends of mine who have bean

meat eaters in past who decided to vegetarian as soon

as they decided to have baby and they had absolutely

no health issue due to that

5. eating healthy matters, it doesn't matter if that

healthy food has meet in it or not.

 

Hope this helps

Shree

Hello everyone

 

Hi everyone,

 

My name is Paola, I am married and have a six year old

little girl. I

was a vegetarian for 12 years before I had my

daughter. After her

birth I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and

I was anemic. I

was told by doctors here that this was probably caused

by an unhealthy

eating pattern. I became a vegetarian when I was 12

and I didn't

concern myself with replacing protein, iron etc. in my

diet.

 

When I had my child, my husband and I decided to start

eating small

quantities of organic meat again because we feared she

might develop

the health problems I had. I am much better informed

today and I do

not think my health problems were attributable to

being a vegetarian

at all but rather to making bad decisions regarding

food. I very much

would like us all to be vegetarians again (my husband

was also a

vegetarian, but started to eat meat as well). The

problem is that I

am now well informed and have tried to explain all of

this to him but

he is still adamant about eliminating meat again.

Like I said, we

hardly eat meat but I want so much to be a vegetarian

again.

 

What should I do to convince him that this is not a

bad choice for all

of us?

 

Thanks,

 

Paola
