Subject:	husband & son would rather DIE than eat this way, HELP!
Date:	April 16, 2009 at 12:32 pm PST

I had been a lacto ovo vegetarian for 20+ years but 5 months ago switched to completely vegan for better health. I have switched my two toddlers to vegan without issue and my 14 year old daughter is 99% over but my husband and 17 year old son hate it. My daughter says that most of the stuff I make is pretty gross but she will eat it and the boys just hate it. They said they would rather die than eat this way. I told them if they continued to eat their horrible SAD diet they would die from it and it would not be pretty. They definately want to come over and say if I could just make stuff that tastes good they would do it. I try really hard to keep the meals healthy so I stay away from added oils, fats, sugars and extra salt and know that is part of the issue. Also I know that because they eat so horribly away from the house that their tastebuds just can't ever really taste the natural food because they are coated with crap. Any suggestions? I have tried many recipes from Dr. Furhman, Dr. McDougall and just bought the Engine 2 Diet book figuring if firemen could eat the recipes in there it should be good but no such luck. I enjoy 90% of the food but I am 100% too. If you have any suggestions for transition food that is pretty healthy I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Kim
