Recent topics brought up include:
– Info about the launching of an occasional So Many Kids in the Kitchen group and our first virtual show is next week.
– Parent posted: Part of my doctoral research is focused on school lunch programs. What is your opinion or take on it? Do your kids eat school lunches and if yes, do you find enough vegetarian options. For example, Child Nutrition Program (CNP) officially introduced tempeh as a meat-equivalent last year. However, how many schools really serve tempeh? Ours does not!
– What is your take on “organic” veggie/fruit produce? Do you “trust” them enough to spend extra $$ on organic produce? Do you “believe” they are better for the health of your children?
– Mention of new veggie book for children called The Turtle Who Fights For Animal Rights.
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.
