Recent discussion topics include:

-How to deal with my Kindergarten-age child’s science workbook having a page called Animals and Their Uses. Responses from other parents included: Tell your child the truth; My concern is the wording they use. They say it’s what animals give us. A cow doesn’t “give us” steak. I’d make sure to discuss that with the kids; and Good to show them the connection between cow and steak but then following up with “this causes animals to suffer so our family doesn’t eat meat.”

-If you celebrate Easter, what do you put in your child’s Easter basket? If you celebrate Passover, what dishes do you make for your Seder?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/VRGparentsandkids/ is intended to be a group that offers support for families raising children on vegan diets and for vegan kids. We envision it as a place to get advice about a wide-variety of topics: pregnancy, birthday parties, school lunches, Halloween, non-leather apparel, cruelty-free products, summer camps, and more. Please use it as a place to share your wisdom, seek advice, or just find a sympathetic ear. The goal is to offer support.

Consequently, any profane, defamatory, offensive, or violent language will be removed. Feel free to disagree, but do so respectfully. Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs will not be tolerated. We expect that posts should relate to vegan diets and lifestyles. The Vegetarian Resource Group reserves the right to monitor all content and ban any user who posts in violation of the above rules, any law or regulation, SPAM, or anything otherwise off topic.

Please share this information with any veggie families that you know! Thanks.
