Does a raw vegan diet during pregnancy create a super baby?
Honey, you’re either high or under the spell of a really good marketing department. But
no diet gives you a super baby.
You want to have the best diet possible to give your child the best chance possible in
life. Raw vegan is superb.
Raw vegan is downright dangerous, especially if you are pregnant.
What makes you say that?
It is hard for vegans to get enough protein while pregnant, even eating beans and nuts.
They can’t get B12 unless they take supplements, and living on a raw vegan diet means you don’t.
The vegan diet is ultra-healthy. You aren’t eating pesticides, preservatives, disease
laden meat and dairy full of artificial hormones.
A lot of that produce you get at the store was raised with some pesticides, unless you
paid $10 a pound for tomatoes where some one physically picked off all the bugs. And I
think you are so full of hormones and vegan propaganda that you aren’t thinking properly.
Vegetarians can raise perfectly healthy children. Heck, India suffers from over-population.
Indians integrate a lot of dairy into their diets, such as yogurt based sauces, giving
them both protein and B12.
And they get a lot of protein from beans and lentils.
It’s amazing how many people are vegetarian but still won’t eat much in the way of beans
and lentils.
The raw diet is healthier than the processed food we eat every day.
It’s been said that fire is what made us human. By cooking food, we get a lot more
nutrients out of it for a lot less effort.
You lose some nutrition, too.
What you lose in boiling it is more than offset by what you gain by digestability. The greatest
outcome of the vegan diet is a whole lot of crap.
That’s rather cruel.
No, really, you eat a lot of raw stuff and end up with two and three times as much poop
at the end. Though I can see why a vegan diet is attractive if you’ve developed meat aversion
during your pregnancy.
I already had meat aversion before pregnancy. That’s why I was vegetarian.
