Hello all! I am new today to the forum. I am English but live way above the Arctic Circle in a small village in Northern Norway where I work as a theatre instructor and yoga teacher. A 10 year vegetarian, I recently gave up the dairy (my husband, was vegetarian too and joined me) and we are now raising our 2 children as vegan too. We have a daughter aged 2 and a 6 months old. Already we have encountered negativity from all sides but I am enjoying the dialogue! It's a meat eaters paradise up here, they just can't get enough and I hope to make my voice heard! I have a blog if anyone is interested (www.newveganmom.blogspot.com) through which I am sharing my discoveries! I think being part of this forum will help me feel part of a truly positive move towards changing peoples perceptions about food choice! Off to find my way round here now, Bye!
