Whether you choose to raise your kids on a vegan diet for ethical reasons or for health reasons or environmental reasons or all the above, you may know that feeding your kids a vegan diet can support their growth and development.
However, many outside the vegan community continue to question whether a vegan diet is actually nutritionally adequate for a child. And even strongly oppose a vegan diet for children, saying a vegan diet is cruel or dangerous for a growing child.
In today’s episode, I am debunking three myths about a vegan diet for children to bring awareness and to finally show that kids who follow a vegan diet can grow into healthy humans.
Here’s what we cover:
>> How a vegan diet can be nutritionally adequate at every stage of growth >> Why is meat and dairy so central to society’s meal plan? >> The nutrients that are believed to be missing on a plant-based diet >> Why non-heme iron from plant-based foods is more advantageous >> How the animal agriculture industry is one of the biggest industries that intentionally inflict pain and suffering >> Is a vegan diet more expensive than an omnivore diet?
