can you drink milk? x

[Sarah Creighton]

Almond milk is our favorite! I like the vanilla kind. There's also hemp, soy or rice milk. I say experiment and find the one you like best. Dairy is not good for our bones (despite what you see in the ads!) or our digestive system...or the cows! ;)

awww there so sensible and sweet! other kids should learn from them its a very healthy lifestyle but how do you get the vitamins and minerals you get from fish and meat? i still think being vegan is one of the healthiest options! :D

[Sarah Creighton]

Hi Liv! Thanks for your comments. Eating a plant-based diet is one of the absolute healthiest ways to live because you easily get all of your vitamins & minerals from the plants. As long as my kids eat a good variety of fresh fruits and veggies, which they definitely do, I don't worry about it. Meat is hard for the body to digest & the nutrients found in plants are easily absorbed & give you such amazing energy. Fish has the omega's we need but you can also find it in seaweed which we love.

So nice ! I wish my mom raised me as a vegan! I will definitely raise my kids as vegans

yeah and she already knows a lot....when we are at birthday parties she asks if the dip have chicken or meat and if it does...she eats only the chips without complaining..and she says to everyone "i dont eat meat i love animals" and if we are a grocey store and sees a bag of doritos etc she says she doesnt eat those because it has cows milk and she only drink soy and almond milk..lol she sounds so cute when she speaks like that. luckily my husband.is eating more veg foods and barely eats meat

Thank you :) I am so glad you are making a book, that is fantastic! I would definitely buy it!

[Sarah Creighton]

I love your answer about how cow's milk is for baby cows! Such a simple (and honest) way to put it. Yes, I love both of the Ruby Roth books...and I'm also making one for vegan kids! Thanks for your comments. ;)

Beautiful, you bring hope to others by sharing! Keep shining! One love!

We told our 3 year old that we do not drink cows milk because it is for baby cows, just like Mums milk is for Penny. And that it is not nice for people to take their milk from them. She said she wished they would run away from the cows milk people. We are just honest and try to keep it light. When she sees others eating meat we just say that some people eat meat and some do not.

We are raising our three girls vegan. It would be much harder if their Dad was not vegan to. Its great that you are making the effort to do what you think is the best. It might get easier as she gets older and you can explain more, she will understand more. There are two books that look good by Ruby Roth. Vegan Is Love and That's Why We Don't Eat Animals.
