Someone posted this on facebook. And it’s got like a thousand likes. It just makes me so angry. I can find a ton of old and unattractive omnivores and healthy looking vegetarians and vice versa. It doesn’t prove anything. Nigella Lawson is an attractive woman and all, but she’s overweight (which is rarely healthy) and she’s obviously blessed with great genes to look like this at 50. Plus, this photo must be several years old and she’s got a ton of make up on and everything. What do you think?

I’ve noticed an uptake in women (both here on vb and irl) who give up veg*nism when they find out they are pregnant. They say they are ‘listening to their bodies’, and plan on going back to not eating meat after birth. Yet, there are women who crave things like dirt and chalk during pregnancy. This doesn’t mean they have to eat it, just that they need to be sure they are getting all the vitamins and things they need.

I’ve also noticed that several have said they got tired of their husbands badgering them to eat meat. All I’m going to say about this is, why would someone choose to be with someone else who does not respect your ethics, just because you are carrying ‘their’ offspring?

I feel like I have a unique perspective on this, because I’ve been vegetarian since birth. My mother was vegetarian throughout her pregnancy with me, and I was old enough to remember her pregnancy with my little brother. My mother didn’t have any complications, she had plenty of energy, and while she will say that pregnancy is no walk in the park; hers wasn’t any worse than any omni’s I’ve seen. My brother and I were both big, healthy babies. We’ve developed normally, and we’ve grown into healthy adults (and no, neither of us suffer from any cognitive disability).

So what do you think? Is eating meat during pregnancy excusable, or does being pregnant not give you a free pass?

Hello everyone,

just yesterday I posted because my rabbit Sally has been diagnosed with a uterus tumor and I was really depressed and scared, but the situation is looking a bit better today.

Now, however, my mother called me because my father had to be taken to hospital after possibly a stroke and now he’s been transferred to the ER of another hospital to check at the neurology department. She sounded really scared on the phone and said that if I wanted to do anything, I should pray really hard: coming from my extremely non-religious mother (religion is not big at all in my family generally), this is deeply upsetting.

I don’t know any specifics except that I’m not supposed to tell my brother or granny yet and I’m really worried. If it really is as bad, it’ll affect all of us too, of course. (And selfish as this might sound, it also saddens me that it would probably mean I can’t go to Denmark to study animation and become a Disney animator because art school would cost too much and I’d feel like I’m leaving my family alone.)

This emotional rollercoaster is really doing me in and I’m not sure how I’ll handle it. Strangely enough I don’t even feel like crying like I did for my rabbit (cried two days straight) because it just seems too unreal. If someone told me it’s a joke and I could laugh now, I think I would – I was prepared for the reality of Sally’s death within the near future, but my father having something serious like this has never been real, even though he has severe diabetes and eats a really unhealthy diet. I feel horrible for feeling so little at all right now, maybe it’s shock or maybe I’m just an awful person.

I’ll go cuddle my rabbit now and dance a little until I get more news from my mother. Please wish my father luck!

Kjesta

One thing I really do miss is Feta Cheese! I tried making some from a recipe on the internet out of almond meal (it was baked and quite complicated). It was very nice but it was very rich and think and creamy (and very expensive to make – as almond meal isn’t exactly cheap). What I really wanted to create was a Feta which was more firm and crumbly and that I could crumble over my pizzas or salads. So, I tried out this Tofu Feta that I invented and it was really delicious! I couldn’t believe how well it worked so I thought I had better share it with other vegans!

The recipe is up on my blog – as part of this recipe: http://gormandizewithus.blogspot.com…and-vegan.html

Hi Everyone

Anyone here who have children and had natural birth?

I am due on 12 May and want to have natural birth as I think it would be best for ‘jellybean’ and myself.

Anyone who can share an experience with me.

Hope Jellybean plays along and it can happen for me.

Hi Everyone

Its been awhile since I posted on the forum, mostly cause I am pregnant and havent been 100% vegetarian, just been eating fish :eek:

I know I should have stayed commited and I do feel my little "jellybean" loves being vegetarian I could not argue with my husband and my body every day when I had morning sickness or now heart burn.

24 weeks now and getting bigger, still love my veggies, beans, fruit and keeping it real.

First little one for us and its a girl. Very excited.

My due date is 12 of May and then going back to being FULL vegetarian.

Just better for ethical and health reasons, I felt fantastic when i was and my cooking skills improved so much.

Argh miss this forum and just wanted to check in.

:o
