I'm not vegan or vegetarian but my mother is and she teaches my daughter and feeds her the same foods as her when they are together. <br />Unfortunately I stumbled across this post googling 'indoctrination of veganism' but I'm glad I did as now I will be more mindful and understanding of my mothers choices and really don't see any wrong with her influence on my daughter. A real eye opener for me who has often found it all quite amusing and quite probably offended my mother.

I simply tell them our baby is going to eat healthy meals made with whole foods. I want to ask them back "are you going to raise your baby to eat nothing but processed fake food and fast food like you do?" However, this would be considered rude and judgemental.

Loved the video so much I had to share it on my blog (hope that's cool!) and it's fast becoming one of the most popular posts. I'm still perplexed as to why the words "indoctrinated" and "brainwashing" only seem to apply to thoughts or values that conflict with popular opinion - because when THAT's shoved down our throats it's considered normal, educational and vital to the functioning of a "civilized" society. Sheesh. All I can say is, you rock girl!

I think there is something to that. I have noticed that when I go on the offensive say, at a demo, the people tend to back off. Or if only facts are discussed with no emotion, people do get ruffled in that way that causes them to call others "self righteous".

In addition to the points you raise, I also point out that no matter how you raise your child (what clothes they wear, what books they read, what food they eat, what -- if any -- god(s) you believe in) we are all imposing our views on them. <br />I always ask "Do you feed your child dog, or horse, or cat, or guinea pig? Or even okra, kale, or seaweed?" No? Oh, then aren't you limiting your child's choices? Aren't you imposing your views on your child, thus indoctrinating him/her?<br />Of course we are imposing our views, everyone is.Andrea Maenzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-18364336501089379422012-02-15T15:54:50.413-08:002012-02-15T15:54:50.413-08:00Very well said!!
