Welcome to the forum!

Wow, you are both life-long plant based eaters? That’s incredibly amazing, how did that happen?
I mean, I understand that for Mia as the daughter, but for MJ, I think it is awesome that your parents already raised you vegan! Nowadays, it’s close to the mainstream, but back when I was born, during all my youth, I did not even know a single other person who was vegetarian, let alone vegan!

Lou, I'm so sorry the link to download the guide wasn't cooperating when you requested it. We had a document sharing security issue that's since been resolved. I found your name on our contact list and emailed you the guide directly a few minutes ago. Please let us know how you like it. Thank for being kind enough to let us know about our technical snafu.

Thanks for the welcome, Andy! Well, the longer version of the story is that I was raised lacto-ovo vegetarian, started eating fish, chicken, and turkey for some years when my kids were growing up, then returned to a mostly plant-based diet (i.e. no meat, dairy ingredients infrequently when away from home) several years ago. I've never been completely vegan myself, although I'm darn close. lol Mia enjoys a mostly raw alkaline vegan diet. Being raised SDA, I was always surrounded by people who were vegetarian and vegan, although many were meat eaters, as well.

So how did your family come to be veg?

So how did your family come to be veg?

Hi MJ, unfortunataly I’m the only one in my family who is vegan, but my younger son (20) is now at least vegetarian.

For me it was”the usual”, I was raised “normal” i.e. with a diet of dead animals.

First time I seriously considered that a vegetarian lifestyle would be better was when I was around 12, but I did not think I could do it. Around 20 I once tried myself how long I could live without eating dead animals, and found after a month I was no longer missing it. Of course, like most other “veggies”, I ate copious amounts of cheese, eggs and dairy.

Fast forward some 20 years more, to 2010, when I read “eating animals” and really found out what is wrong with the dairy and egg industry. Went vegan then and have not looked back since.

Amazing thing is that before, I had never really thought about why cows would “give” us milk, even though I have kids and had noticed myself that my wife suddenly was able to produce milk. But - I guess - like most people, I had never before really thought about it.
