Vegan Parenting

Well, our baby isn't even born yet and the questions are already rolling in on what we will feed her after she is weened. I've been telling people that we will feed her everything except meat, dairy and eggs. Yes, we plan to raise our baby vegan. Here's a video that sheds some light on the topic.

 

I can assure you that this is very safe with planning and thought and that we have done our homework on the subject! We would never put our daughter's health at risk.  Also, there are tons of resources for us to reference and people out there just like us raising vegan children.

I am also not naive to the fact that this won't be the easiest path especially once our little (insert adorable girl name) starts interacting with her peers and enters the very non-vegan world (I can not recommend the link enough) outside her front door. As parents we will do our best to instill in her, the values WE live by, and why this lifestyle is so important to us and the planet. 

And people say girls from Jersey aren't pretty......

Just in case you are wondering about the picture that is a Jersey Calf :) 

Here is a link to a really great blog post that sums up what we are thinking amazingly.
