My formerly raised vegetarian/vegan brother was convinced by his otherwise brilliant, kind, compassionate (young, yet old school, from a machismo culture) doctor - with my brother having absolutely no physical, mental, psychological issues - that there's no reason for him to stay away from eating animal products, that they're good for him, that they're healthy. There was no reason given for why my brother, specifically, should have it, only the doctor didn't know a reason to stay away. My brother, who used to be a compassionate, logical, learning, thinking, researching young man, went on and off about vegetarianism/veganism. He and his girlfriend, both doctors - she's a pediatrician, older than he is, tells him what's what, feeds her children organic whole milk, demands my parents have it for her, thinking it's healthy, she feeds the children regular chicken, regular meat, lots of fruits and vegetables, too, sure, she knows that much, she accepts cakes plus all desserts from all grandparents she thinks she's doing favors to or accepts money and gifts from - this simple girl doctor who cut her work to three days a week, who didn't even want her first child to have a cupcake or bite of cake for birthday number one because it's not healthy, yet she's financially supported by several generations of family on all sides...I don't get it... she makes sure the mother in law buys it all for her, she's constantly given anything she wants or doesn't want but accepts, feeds to the children, to my family, as my big brother, formerly healthy in mind, body, soul, is a new medical resident, has had fewer hours of nutrition in medical school than I've studied in high school honors with projects, extra credit etc. I'm worried about my brother - the animal eating, the being manipulated, the quick shift, the weight gain, the lack of sleep from 24-36 hour shifts, the stress, the heart palpitations from stress since the girlfriend, job, children...the no time to think, rethink, take time...it's so frightening...he's become worse since getting with a pediatrician, going to medical school. These are the really smart ones, too. The ones who went into this not for money or a title, the ones who care. What can be done? It's terrifying. They're going to influence a generation or more. Also, I'd like my true brother back.?
