    Mother forces me to eat meat

    I have an article about that on my blog site: "According to psychologist Melanie Joy, PhD, “Carnism is the invisible belief system, or ideology, that conditions people to eat certain animals.” It’s basically the opposite of veganism. If you’re a vegan teen, you’re likely to be spending the...

    The ominous flu shot/vaccine.

    We can't just listen to science when we agree with it, because that's what the anti-vegan people do. Vegan-supportive Yale medical school doctor and lifestyle medicine expert David Katz: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flu-fools-fanatics-you-david-l-katz-md-mph-facpm-facp-faclm "Ordinarily...

    US Any good, prepared vegan meals available?

    My local grocery store carries some of these Plant Pure meals and they have good sales sometimes. They're made by the China Study Dr Colin Campbell's Plant Pure Nation movement. You can also order them online, but they aren't cheap that way...

    New vegan!

    That's awesome! I have some info on my website you may want to see, even if you're not a teenager. www.veganteen.net There's also Facebook groups and Reddit subthreads where you can connect with other vegans. To me, the hardest part isn't changing lifestyle--it's finding people to relate to!

    Help!!! 11 year old daughter wants to be vegan, need advice :-)

    I've been vegan since 9 and am 15 now, and my health is great! I made a website for vegan and vegan-interested teens, and you may be interested in the information there, where I have meal ideas and health information, etc. As I say on one of the Q&A questions, studies show nonvegans lack more...

    What would happen if a person only ate carrots?

    "When you consume too many carrots — or sweet potatoes, pumpkins, or any other food that is similarly high in carotene — excess beta-carotene will enter the bloodstream and be stored under the skin, thus giving it a yellow, orange or golden tint. What qualifies as “too many carrots” is...

    Are humans designed to eat meat query

    I don't know, but it seems to me that two vegan capitals of the world, Berlin and Tel Aviv, are no accident. They're both places where humanity was deeply affected by the systematic killing of humans just because there was an imaginary line put between them, like the line we make between pets...

    Health since going vegan

    Thanks for the comments, even though some came across as a bit of a telling off! =>Yeah, I sorta thought that too! But do you even need to lose weight from a medical point of view? Or would you like to be slimmer? My mom says being vegan (whole food plant based) doesn't mean she's as thin as...

    Are humans designed to eat meat query

    How many of them, as SD Joe says, have never needed blood pressure medication, statin medicines, surgery, etc.? Plus, even if some individuals live long and medical-intervention-free with animal products, the public health numbers don't lie. Heart disease is the #1 killer, and animals who are...

    Vegan w high triglycerides and tc

    I finally asked my dad who's a doctor about this and he said maybe lots of nuts and/or processed grains and/or alcohol? He said those could drive triglycerides up. His triglycerides and cholesterol levels fell very dramatically after we went whole food plant based vegan, so you are a bit of a...

    New vegan: 2 weeks in. what to expect?

    The gas will pass as your gut microbes adjust to give you a healthier microbiome that can digest beans. How you'd expect to change and feel depends on what kind of diet you already had. For example, if you were already eating whole foods with a little meat and dairy, now substituting plant-based...

    Charity New website for vegan & vegan-interested teens

    Yes, I am learning that really is the hard part. So much for "If you build it, they will come?" Social media is where most of us spend our free time, and there's a lot of competition for that space. A video is a good idea. Maybe I could get another vegan teenager to make one for me, because I'm...

    Charity New website for vegan & vegan-interested teens

    Thank you!! Ah, there's no even vegetarian restaurants in my area. But writing to a vegan magazine is a great idea that I definitely can do! My parents subscribe to VegNews so maybe I'll start there! I just googled and see there are some others too. I can't probably afford advertising, but...
