The Vegan Lifestyle: Why It’s Healthier Not To Eat Animals

How To Raise Kids As Vegans

Obviously, it is easier to be a vegan if you were born that way and have been eating that way since you were a child. This is the reason many people raise their kids as vegans. The truth of the matter though, is that this has to be done very carefully with a pediatrician, nutritionist and dietitian – all who have experience in children and their diet.

According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, United States’ largest organization of food and nutrition professionals, “appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets…are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes.” Raising vegan children has to be done with care and you need to make sure they are getting their daily requirements of protein, calcium, and other vitamins and minerals.
