Why are doctors so ignorant about diet? Why do we give them so little training? Why do we not just give them annual seminars on nutrition? Just a couple of hours a year. It'd help.
I wonder what amino acid can only be found in certain eggs?
it seems as if doctors are trained to treat rather than to prevent... diet is part of prevention. also since most doctors are not vegan, the medical profession can ignore the health benefits of veganism.
if doctors made their patients healthy through diet who would they sell pills to?
Hill's Science Diet, huh? I think my ability to be shocked by anything has completely diminished. --- I've gone back and forth over the "do i want a child" thing.
I would love to raise a vegan child who will grow up to help change the world. realistically though, i would end up with a meat-eater who rebels... blah blah blah. you know, either that or i can get arrested for child abuse since many people believe raising a child on a healthy vegan diet is child abuse. what does that say about our society?
What kind of person would want to bring a new life into THIS mess??
A very ordinary person with a biological ticking clock with all the emotional baggage it comes with. Though I feel very strongly about the state the world's in, if I was a) fertile, and b) not stuck with having only a rigid sleep schedule, lightbox and melatonin supplements standing between me and my lack of circadian rhythm and ME/chronic fatigue, I'd have a child. Discovering that I couldn't and realising that I shouldn't for my own health was extremely traumatic.
I can perfectly see why some people want children, why others don't, and why adoption, fostering, and being a mentor to children are all fine and good choices. They don't always get made by the right people at the right time for the right reasons, but the human heart is a terribly complex thing.
