How many of you have raised children as veg*ns. I've raised two. My step
son was an American Legion Pitcher, a state cup soccer player, and a
regional top 10 wrestler. A car wreck ended his athletics. It's been
hard for him to adjust to not being the best. That's another story.
He's 26. Interestingly, he was pushed weights and looked like a body
builder. He ate mostly fruit. He loved grapefruits.

Unfortunately, he was in a horrendous car wreck, the person next to him
died and he's never been the same. He still got a math scholarship to
college but hasn't learned to live in constant pain.


My son is 22, he played varsity soccer, and is finishing a degree at a
fine university and is going to law school. He's a fine distance runner
and pushes weights. He's now applying to law schools and wants to do be
a diplomat.

Neither have ever eaten meat. They survived.

In the interest of complete information it is necessary to ask the
following questions:

1. Did they ever eat animal-source food other than meat? I mean for
example, milk products, eggs (which some people don't count as meat),
fish (which some people don't count as meat).

2. Did they ever take supplements? Taking supplements would weaken the
evidence for the nutritional sufficiency of the diet.

No fish. Rare pizza. No eggs. Generally no dairy for months at a time.
Pizza at schol or social occassions sometimes.

No supplements of any kind, ever.

And they're OK? Well done!

Your name's not Christine Phillips is it? She even used to have Vegan cats
that came running when she shouted "Pinky! Perky! Cucumber!" and waved the
cut end of one out the door! Happy daze!

Only backwards! The real one is quite a floury name actually with greyhound
associations, as anyone who used to come to my Wednesday evening nosh-ups at
the Mandeer Restaurant donkeys' years ago will tell you!

Otherwise, it's the shark with the silly wicked smile that's the dangerous
one!

. . . and I'd dare say that her allegedly Vegan cats used to 'eat
out' now and again, leaving quite a few mouse and pigeon remains smelling
suspiciously of cucumber about the place! )
