The Vegan View
This column features a question of the month about vegan living that you, a VegFamily community member, are invited to submit your reply for us to publish in the upcoming issue.
This month's question:
I was wondering if you could help me. My boyfriend and I are talking about getting married and having children. I am a vegetarian and he is a meat eater. He wants our children to eat organic meat and milk. I want them to be vegan/vegetarian. He's open to new information and statistics for which is a better diet. Unfortunately, I can't find any information. That says a vegetarian/vegan diet is healthier or not healthier than a low fat meat diet. Do you have any resources or can you point me in a direction of maybe where I could look. If I can prove that it's better for our child he will do it. I can't have a baby if it's going to be given meat.

Last month's question:
Isn't it a fact that some people just cannot be healthy on a vegan diet, that it poses a risk to people of certain ethnic backgrounds? I tried a vegetarian diet and veganism for almost a year. While I did fine for several months, I found my health slowly declined. My doctor felt my issues were due to the lack of animal protein in my diet. After much reading on the topic I've come to a conclusion that only a very small portion of people can thrive on a vegetarian diet. I have returned to eating animal foods and am much healthier and feel so much better.
