She has been recommended by her doctor to have two glasses of milk a day, despite drinking milk sometimes makes her vomit, makes her swolen and dizzy. I've tried to talk to her about the negative effects of milk in the past, but I want some good information to back me up, because her mom really insists that she needs milk. Also she doesn't want me to show her images of suffering animals. When she can't drink milk she'll have some cheese.  Could anyone link me to some good articles/researchs about the effects of milk?</p><p>Thank you!</p><p>-Agnes</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/help-me-with-my-vegan-themed-english-project-hoo-rah 2013-04-01T22:09:53.000Z 2013-04-01T22:09:53.000Z Lulabelle Jackhammer https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/LulabelleJackhammer <div><p>In my english class, I'm giving a "speech to impact social change" next week.  The only requirement for the speech was that it was something that I cared about, so I of course chose veganism!  Because it's a three-minute speech, I decided to choose just one orb of the wide world of amazing reasons to go vegan: environmental impact/water consumption and veganism's effect on world hunger, rather than morality and health, since they are very complex subjects.  </p><p>I was wondering if anybody could help!  In SOOO many videos, I have heard members of the 30bad community talk about the environmental impact/world hunger impact of veganism, but I can't seem to find the specific studies, which I need to cite.  So if anybody could link some articles/studies, or even books/passages pertaining to this subject, I would be VERY appreciative!</p><p></p><p>Thanks, have a fruity day :)</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/i-cant-take-it-anymore-and-i-need-help 2012-01-03T21:58:28.000Z 2012-01-03T21:58:28.000Z oxabbsxo https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/oxabbsxo <div><p>my parents are threatening to control what i eat out of the fear that i have an "eating disorder" even though i eat 2-3k calories a day, which is a ton for someone my size (5'3")<br />my dad is a mcdougall supporter, and has an obsession with whole grain. all the time, it's all i hear - "you need more whole grain, whole grain, blah blah EAT YOUR BREAD"</p><p>of course i don't. <br />i need articles that talk about why grains are bad for you and how fruit does not spike blood sugar any more than bread does, and i can find plenty online, but not from reliable sources.</p><p></p><p>if i don't get some info to fire back at him, i'll be forced to eat oatmeal at breakfast, tofu sandwiches for lunch, and rice and beans at dinner.<br />i'm gonna cry. someone help me out of this. </p></div>
