Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hello, I have a 1 and 2 year old and I am trying to become a vegan but I am a long way from it. My kids still eat organic dairy products. But no meat, eggs, or chicken. It is hard to change after living on the Standard American Diet for so long. DO you give your kids almond milk or what kind of milk do they drink? I am thinking about buying alissa cohen's book after your recommendation. > > Hi, > > As a family with 3 kids (aged 5,3, 1) we have been on vegan diet for 6 > years and feeling good.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 I strongly recommend the Weston A. Price foundation at www.westonaprice.org and their collection of articles about nutrition and health. >Hello, > >I have a 1 and 2 year old and I am trying to become a vegan but I am a >long way from it.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Almond milk is great, because it's very high in calcium & magnesium (which helps to assimilate calcium), but we don't need " milk " . Our children drink fruit juices, smoothes (sometimes with almonds), and other delicious recepies we've found on Alissa's book. I personally think kids know what they need (the younger the easier) and after few days they will tell you what they need. They will show you or ask for what they want. We are all excited about this new way of eating, and the children are really enjoying it! A little suggestion: buy the dvd with the book; in the past 5 years I've collected lots of books about raw eating, but I thought it was too hard for me. When I saw how simpleeverything was, and I think even thanks to Alissa's enthusiasm, I was able to start the following morning!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I ordered the book and DVD so I will let you know how it goes. I really am looking forward to watching the DVD. I, too sometimes find it easier to see it than read it. The recipes looked delicious on the website. > > > > Hi, > > > > As a family with 3 kids (aged 5,3, 1) we have been on vegan diet for > 6 > > years and feeling good.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks! It seems interesting for somebody who needs to start (we do seminars ....). Personally I grew up eating a tipical Italian diet (so not too bad); because of my arthrites, migrane, ... I become a vegetarian, than a vegan; last year I've had several health problems (big problems) and I went raw for one month, eating fruit juices, salad & tomatoes, tomatoes & salad, salad & tomatoes ... I thought that was it ... really boaring! But this time is different with a lot of delicious recepies. I've never felt so good, with so much energy, positive attitude, enthusiasm as when I started to eat raw. I think it's really amazing! And the whole family is doing better than ever!
