[QUOTE="mmmmmmmîmmmmmmmmtt, post: 1446428, member: 578199"] ...just hear the cows screaming!? EVERY time I've spoken to my nan or visited my nan since going vegan,I get the exact same question. "Where do you get your calcium?" I say "Vegetables, like broccoli and spinach not to mention fortified foods" Then I get the "But none are as good as milk, milk has more calcium then any of them" I just drop the argument there. My nan is willing to have a conversation about veganism, she has about meat and eggs and why vegetables are better but milk she so strongly believes is the only source of calicum in the world and that the animal protein is good for her bones because "it builds the muscle surrounding them". I think I"m going to have to tell her the truth, and show her the facts (Not PETA facts trolls but facts I went and searched for and actually got medical names for and that my doctor typed me a note about the negatives of milk on) so should I? (BTW yes my doctor is cool, he is a vegan and is very forward minded about different things) Nan, nanny, grandmother. FIne, grandma, or onna or whatever you want to call her. Shall we just say she is my fathers mother. [/QUOTE]
