robert Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I get this e-mail quite a bit lately. I get tons and can't reply to them all but this topic has come up. Some want to know which vegan athletes have been vegan since birth. Any of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djshrew Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 What a great website! it is such an inspiration to read these stories. I'm not looking to have kids anytime soon, but I want to be armed with all the information (so that i know it Before it happens and so I can make anyone in my family shut up when they question me about it!)

RawVgn Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 My youngest son, now 10, has been vegetarian since 3 and vegan since 7. My 11 year old has been vegetarian since 4 and vegan since 8. The older boy is the second tallest in his 6th grade class (85 percentile); both of them enjoy excellent health. I also have a friend whose 5 year old has been vegan since birth; he's also very healthy, big and strong. Anyone who says raising kids vegan is unhealthy is full of it! Go to Storm Talifero's website and order his CD. He's raised a bunch of kids vegan (one is over 20) and he has documented their progress including video during an annual pediatric checkup-they are extremely healthy. One scene in the video shows one of his sons, about 6 yrs old, outrunning an adult up a mountainside at about a 15% grade. Storm's in his late 50s and has been raw vegan for over 20 years; he still looks like a 20 something body builder! Two summers ago I chased my youngest boy up a mountain trail in the rockies for nearly an hour; we passed probably 40 adults and teenagers on the way up.
