Ramblings of A Vegan Mama
Will You Raise Your Child Vegan??
That, my friends, is the most asked question of a pregnant vegan. I can’t count how many times friends, strangers and relatives asked me THAT question, with eyebrows cocked. So my response was to raise my eyebrows right back and say “Why wouldn’t I?”
It is mind boggling to me that one can look at a perfectly healthy person whose strong sense of morality rules their diet and question the fact that they will “impose” their morals and habits on their children. My hackles rose at the mere question mentioned above–and I bit back my tongue from responding with “No–I plan on taking the child to McDonalds every day and basically shooting him up with antibiotics and hormones and insuring his future as a diabetic–also, I plan on ignoring my love of animals and my abhorance at their treatment by not teaching him that what most of society is mindlessly consuming was once a living, breathing creature.”

We’re BACK!
Well I giving DC Vegan another shot. I hope to keep posts going on a regular basis and I will except articals and such from our readers if you have something you would like to share.
To tell you a little bit about myself, my name is Tim Meinberg I have been vegan for around 3 years now. I work in IT doing all kinds of stuff from networking to graphic design. I have lived in the DC area my whole life, I love it and hate it here, but I am not going to get into that. I love my bicycles too, I worked in the bike industry for several years before I got into IT, did a some racing too, mostly cyclocross. I hope to provide you readers with some good reading, articles, ramblings, reviews, and the such. I am not the best writer in the world, and I hated English class, so I am sure there will be type-o’s (is that right???) and long sentences, so don’t hate me!
Send your love to keep me going!
Peace
