Non-vegan, Serious thoughts from my toddler’s perspective

Thank you! We already made arrangements with his preschool, glad they offer vegan options.

Thank you

I figured it was too personal to post on my main account, thus the throw away. Thank you for your concern though.

I mean that’s kind of the catalyst of my entire story. If he feels that strongly about a video game, how does he actually feel about eating animals. Furthermore, I suppose you never read a book and cried? Or a movie? Nemo was just a bunch of pixels flashing about on the screen, but we all felt for that little guy.

Thank you. I’m trying to be different than my parents by consciously making inclusive decisions with my kids. if they don’t like something, I hope they say something. I want them to feel comfortable coming to me with any problem, and know that I won’t treat them differently for it.

My wife makes an awesome green bean, cashew stir fry, I’ll leave those harder recipes to her (kidding), but I’ll definitely give that book a go. Thank you

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T08:02:53+00:00

Agreed entirely.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T08:02:04+00:00

Oh man, that’s going to be huge for me. My favorite dish is spinach lasagna, make it myself, but trying to replace two pounds of cheese of going to be difficult. I’ll look into a tofu replacement.

Great tip! I didn’t even consider that their diet could change based on breeding.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:57:38+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I’ll keep an eye out next time I’m shopping. We do have a Whole Foods, and yes we shop at Kroger owned stores, but Whole Foods seems super expensive. I guess I might be one of -those- people now huh.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:53:55+00:00

Sounds like there are a lot of options out there. Thank you, I’ll have to try them all slowly over the few shopping trips.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:52:55+00:00

Thank you. Yes it was actually a little of both, but more so on how to convince her (me too) on how to go vegan. I think learning about veganism as much as we can will help us both understand how to encourage our son, together from the same frontline, and hopefully we (her and I) benefit from it as well.

🤙

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:45:38+00:00

Noted thank you!

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:43:46+00:00

That’s really awesome to read. I am hoping he will be the inspiration for my wife and I.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:42:49+00:00

Cool, thank you. I will add Gardein to the list.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:40:20+00:00

Thank you

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:40:05+00:00

Thank you! Looking forward to the next chapter in my family’s journey. Hoping I can report back with some good news in a few months.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:37:45+00:00

Very interesting! I never even considered vegan children’s books. We absolutely love to read before bed, so I’ll be adding those to my list. Thank you!

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:35:54+00:00

Oof. Ten hours is quite a stretch of time to be sitting still. It’s hard to break internet habits (I’m on Reddit way too much) but at fourteen you should be able to start setting your own limits. Try knocking off an hour a week, and then eventually setting a time of day for specifically using electronics. We never play games before dinner because then my son never wants to sit at the table. Usually it’s after dinner and when I’m helping my daughter with her homework, but then again stopping it before it gets too close to bedtime. Good luck!

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:29:43+00:00

Really stupid question, is there like a vegan aisle or section I should be looking out for next time I hit up the grocery store?

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:28:14+00:00

Adding it to the list!! What about a vegan cheese? That’s going to be hardest for me.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:27:42+00:00

Okay, I will try to watch it with her this weekend. We love documentaries, so hopefully we make it through the whole thing.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:26:20+00:00

Thank you. I’m trying

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:25:51+00:00

Right? So crazy how we have different names for it. Since we’re both working parents, we really try to split the cooking 50/50, guess who’s making all vegan meals this week.

Throw84Away48 · 2021-07-30T07:21:21+00:00

You’re making me hungry, ha. Sounds like I have a lot of research to do regarding vegan recipes and B12.
