Question for Vegan/Vegetarian mylotters with children - When you were pregnant

I think it's more of what the body craves, not the person. I have had some heated arguements with friends what are vegan and they eat that way when they are pregnant and when they are raising their children. To me, that is child abuse because there is no way a soy burger or any vegan food will ever replace what meat, chicken, pork or fish can give the body when it is in its growing stages. Same thing holds true when they are pregnant. Got a little off the track there but I think you know what I am getting at. When you are pregnant, sometimes you have to give in to those cravings because it is your body saying that it needs something.

I must say that as a vegan I didn't crave meat either time when I was pregnant. I guess that my body had enough of the vitamins that we would traditionally get from meat so I didn't need them.
