[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why were vegan dinners off the menu in the first place?
Life is long. Expand your palate and your repertoire. Learning is good for you. [/quote]

Well in our house, I cannot eat soy or legumes, so most sources of protein are out on a vegan diet.  Heck, I don't do dairy either, so I cannot eat a vegan or vegetarian diet strictly.  I have several autoimmune disease and my body needs (and I feel much better) when I each protein with each meal.  I'm also Gluten free (celiac).  So while I would try to cook some dishes that were vegan/veg if my kid wanted it, I would have to double cook, as there is absolutely no way I could eat that way.  As it is we often cook separate dishes since our kids eat dairy and gluten. [/quote]

That’s all well and good.  Now pretend that you were a vegan or even vegetarian family and then one of your children developed the same issues you have.  Would you say “too bad, so sad” or would you “accommodate” their special diet?[/quote]
