ah but they will wear leather and suede. that is truly ironic to me.
you can raise vegan kids....lots of indian folks do it all the time. ug. i am a meat eater but i think you should include protein in the form of dairy, eggs, cheese, beans. these folks were just plain abusive if they had skinny kids.
not just vegans too but i used to have an acquaintance who was a zealous athlete and a NO FAT freak. i can remember her 9 year old daughter coming home late at night from gymnastics and she would give her plain pasta to eat. plain.
