Vegetarian & Vegan - October 2006

My mother-in-law has dry flaky skin and I have told her to include a little red meat in her diet for healthy skin, but she refuses. What can I do to convince her to eat a well balanced diet? I am afraid this sect she is involved in may be risking her health.

How can we get non-Veggies to understand that we get enough protein? We get plenty. It's plainly obvious we do. Otherwise, we would not be here. Proteins are the building blocks of life. However, it's incredibly rare for someone to have a protein deficiency in a developed country. The major prerequisite is for the person to be staving. Our bodies only need 5% of our daily calories from protein to function properly. Any more than 15% provides no added positive effects. In fact, in may even encourage cancer growth, among other things. Armed with the facts this question sounds silly, yet it's the question we, as vegetarians and Vegans most often get.

In no way am I trying to attack anyone, quite the contrary. I want to know what we can do to help people stop worrying about protein since the fear of not having enough in a country like America in largely unfounded.

Any ideas?

Something they studied in his preschool class about eating veggies started this. He likes meat and everything, and I tried to explain to him that some people don't eat meat because of religious beliefs, health reasons, and because of their thoughts about eating animals. Then he said he didn't want to eat animals anymore. I asked him if he realized that included fish sticks and he hesitated. Should I let it go and try to find out what he really wants and if so do you think it is safety for him to go without the protein from meat?

I was just wondering how vegetarians get protein when they don't get meat. Are there are foods that contain protein? Would protein shakes be enough protein?

People always cite "preventing cruelty to animals" as one of the reasons. Humans are omnivores and are designed to eat meat, chimpanzees are even known to eat meat in the wild occasionally, so to me it seems natural to eat meat, part of the food chain. I would of course like that the animals aren't subjected to any unnecessary suffering so I buy free range etc.
Think about this too: if everyone became vegetarian, what would happen to all the farm animals? I doubt that they'd be kept if there wasn't a profit to be made, so all our livestock would die anyway.
Your comments please.

I had real misadventures with cheap own budget brand supermarket soya milk last year (my own sad fault), I blame it (and the wrong type of exercise) for going up two and a half chest sizes last year!

I love rice dream , it is lovely but costs a fortune in the Uk. What is oat milk like, is it low in fat and does it cost the earth in rip-off Britain here?

usually everybody gives advise regarding how much calories one should eat but no one tells how a common man can calculate the calories in the simple and effective way from the commonly used VEGETERIAN items.
