Comments on: Vegan Nutrition — How To Be A Healthy Vegan http://veganbits.com/vegan-nutrition-how-to-be-a-healthy-vegan/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:52:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lane http://veganbits.com/vegan-nutrition-how-to-be-a-healthy-vegan/comment-page-1/#comment-2976 Lane Fri, 05 Dec 2008 07:33:49 +0000 http://veganbits.com/vegan-nutrition-how-to-be-a-healthy-vegan/#comment-2976 Hi Healthy VRM, Agreed. Hopefully, they're well-meaning misinformed non-vegans. But still, it's sad how misinformed we all are until we start reading about this on our own. It would be nice if basic nutrition were taught in school... and it should, imo, be a requirement in any medical students curriculum. Hi Healthy VRM,

I remember I had a lot of hesitation until I started reading further into it and realized it's not as complicated as it seems and it's certainly healthier.

Our Thanksgiving is based on the meal we used to prepare when we were omnivores, just veganized. We feel that most of the dishes are indistinguishable from their non-vegan versions. The notable exception being the Tofurky and Celebration Roast... and the gravy isn't as good. But overall, this is our favorite meal of the year. Hi Shannon,

I have recently switched over to a vegan diet and like you were, I am worried about getting the proper nutrients. I was also looking at the Thanksgiving feast that you and Jane will be having and its a releif to know that there are so many other options out there to choose from. Being from Canada, our Thanksgiving has long passed but I am having my family over for Christmas dinner this year and even though they may be eating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner (as my parents will be bringing dishes of their own) its nice to know that I have tasty vegan options that might even win them over. Thank you so much for your informative posts, you are truly helping out the vegan community with your blog.

Of course, soy isn't your only option for protein. There's wheat meat (seitan) and rice and beans, and anything with chickpeas or lentils... which I'm sure you're aware of. Perhaps you can educate the restaurants you frequent, or at least request that they put something on the menu for soy-allergic folks. This, however, isn't our path, just as we don't focus on children's nutrition as we don't have any. If I find something in my research that is relevant, I will certainly include it in my resources page. But this blog is about the experiences Jane and I are having on our vegan journey, and soy allergies aren't part of that. On a positive note, as all forms of vegetarianism are on the rise, you're options will likely expand in the future. Nicole – Sounds like you’ve got a more challenging road to follow than most of us.

When I read vegan sites, the blithe inattention to the issue of soy allergies constantly frustrates me. Soy allergies are one of the most common allergies in the U.S. I've yet to find a vegan site that addresses what to do if you want to eat ethically and are allergic to soy. And don't even get me started on vegan restaurants - there are a couple that I would cheerfully set fire to, because they have just about no soy-free options (even if it's not in the meat substitute, it's in the dressing, the mayonnaise, or the bread), and don't see why they should. (I have some celiac friends who have the same issue, but with wheat, at vegan restaurants.) Sorry, this is not a beef at you; perhaps I should just create a blog addressing the issues of being a soy-allergic vegan. Thank you for the links!
