So so much judging by family about being vegan. Getting to be very tiring..
My wife and I are vegans now, for 3.5 years. We just had our 1st child who is now 3 months old who we are raising vegan. Both her parents and my mother are quite often telling us how bad this decision is, both being vegan and now raising our child vegan. How we simply are not getting the nutrition that our bodies need and that a bit of meat and dairy will I guess "magically" fix all of this. That our newborn isnt going to get what he needs from the breastfeeding. We both are quite careful about our food intake and do supplement daily with some vitamins (B12 and Omega3's). I'm not saying we are eating exactly PERFECT every single meal and every single day, but I think we do quite a good job and keeping healthy. Anyway, who the heck does eat perfectly everyday whether you are vegan or not. I'm just so growing tiring of all this judging. I'm thinking to go get a full blood exam (both of us) just to see the results, then go from there. I'm guessing we're just fine but if we aren't, then I suppose we would potentially reconsider our vegan lifestyle but this is something I DO NOT want to do....
