I am glad your experience of it has been positive. People I know have
had negative experiences, especially dealing with doctors and, worst of
all, the professional or registered dietitians.
I was on a panel recently with a dietitian who questioned whether it was
healthy to raise children under 5 as vegetarians. As our discussion
progressed, it struck me as increasingly racist to even ask that
question given it is no secret that Indians of Asian origin have for
ages raised health vegetarian children from birth. Medical research has
also indicated clearly that as long as there are sufficient calories an
Indian vegetarian is quite healthy.
I wonder whether others have had negative experiences with the
dietitians, and their seeming unwillingness to accept research which
goes against the basic American diet (BAD).
