I wrote a blog post about raising vegan kids. I tried not to be offensive to anyone!

that is such a great post! we're not a vegan family, but we do a lot of vegan meals due to the boys' dairy allergies. I usually just cook a side of some sort of extra protein because they are so active. so about 30% of our diet is entirely vegan. but yeah, I don't understand why people are so up in arms about what you eat. "YOU NEED COW'S MILK" ummm no my kids will actually die from it, so stop with the propoganda.

my immediate family's buddhist and they are pretty vegan as well. they eat a lot of seitan and marinated tofu. :)

Oh yes, "what do you mean, no milk?!" is a question I've had many people ask me with so much anger, like I'm killing my kids. haha

ice cream is usually what brings out people's rage that OH NOES i'm the mean mom who won't give my kids ice cream. i'm like, dude, what does it matter to YOU what *I* eat, you know? We're happy, you should be happy too. Don't push your agenda of milk on us, and we wont' push ours onto you. :P

We're in the same boat with the dairy allergy rigamarole.

"Would you like some cottage cheese, Stuart?" (Cue stern look from me). "Oh -- wait. Mommy says you can't."

We do live in Wisconsin. But still.
