<p>My DD became a vegan after a year of declared vegetarian. I thought it was a phase. It’s not. We worried about nutrition. My XH was concerned about the lack of meat as any good hunter would. Then we looked at athletes who are vegetarian and vegan. We then let the DD do her own thing. I was waiting for the weakness and illness to happen to take her to doctor to talk some sense into her…never happened. She got stronger and healthier as vegan. So I cut out meat and have been absent a cold now for three years.</p>
<p>I like the stuff she eats, Quorn is better than chicken. Hummus is the new hors devours at our gatherings. Scrambled tofu is better than eggs. She learned herself to work with tofu, to press it and drain it. DD uses MARMITE and sometimes NUTRITIONAL YEAST from the health food store (Whole Foods).</p>
<p>DD has been vegan now 5 or 6 years. I guess it’s not a phase.</p>
