I'm seriously considering impregnating someone. (Yes, someone specific.) I've just started eating paleo and am very happy with it myself. The prospective mother, however, is a vegan. So, for the optimum health of my potential future progeny, how important is it for me to prevail upon the prospective mother to reconsider her diet? (What to do once the child is born is another issue which I would also be happy to discuss.) At this point we're at least T minus 14 months, so there's not a spectacular rush to come to any conclusions. Although she is starting to ask me questions like "exactly why are potatoes bad for me?" I do not anticipate that any revolutionary changes will be easy for her to decide to make. -j -- jeremy bornstein <[log in to unmask]> we are the result of all kinds of influences and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves; nothing original, pristine, clear.
