My almost vegan daughter is three and I took her to the GP who was 'concerned' about her vegan diet. My mum thinks it's unfair and unhealthy and is waiting for Lara to pass out through lack of cow juice. I feel quite threatened and although I've recieved support from friends I can't help but be concerned. My little girl eats a healthy balanced diet but over three-quarters of the population would consider it to be totally unhealthy since there is no milk and dairy. I don't want to give in but I am feeling so vunerable right now.
She had her party last Saturday and I made all vegan food. My mum said 'this is okay now if you gave her this but she had cows milk and eggs as well I'd be okay with that' I didn't know wether to laugh or scream. She has completely missed the point. Later she called me up to tell me my sister's, friend's, doctor read a study done in America on 40 vegan children and more of them had broken bones than the ones who had meat and/or dairy. Why is my sister's friend, whom I've only seen a few times in my life asking questions about my daughter whom she knows nothing about? I'm sorry I know I am ranting I just feel so pressured.
