[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are those "kids" 30 years later...still vegan and now with 2 vegan grandchildren in tow. Just so you have a crystal ball. We have always brought something we could eat and in the early days It wasn't an issue but watching my mil cater to every other dietary preference that has come along over the 30 years but put no thought into anything that might work for this limb of the family tree really irks me...we now have gluten free options, heart healthy options, no (insert the food) options...WE still bring our own vegan food.

We are also the only kids who offered to and then  moved back when my Fil was diagnosed with dementia.

mjedra is a favorite of ours...lebanese lentils, and rice... [/quote]

Fad veganism is an imposition.

Health related diet requirements is not.[/quote]

So "health " related for people who have no real health issues is not an imposition?

Our "fad" vegan diet  is health and environment related. Always has been.

My father died at 44 from a heart attack. My mother has had diabetes since she was in her 30's. Paternal grandmother, breast cancer. Paternal grandfather, heart attack (not sure how old he was-he died before I was born so maybe late 40's, early 50's), Maternal grandmother high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and stomach cancer.

Me, so far at almost 50, none of the above . All of their diseases were diagnosed before 40...except my father who died without any diagnosis and my grandmother's stroke which happened at 50...

The one thing I have not been lucky with so far is Thyroid disease, which both my mother and her mother had. And in fact my surgeon has said because of the family history my kids should be screened starting at 18.
