Vegan diets require additional supplements to keep you healthy.

It's a really hard diet, so that's why most people stick with vegetarian or paleo diets.

A diet for children must be much more secure than that of an adult's. Calcium, Iron, B12, and Vitamin D are areas where vegan diets may be deficient in, and with younger children these can prove not good for their development.

Unless you're eating foods that are fortified with these, they will not be getting enough. A multivitamin/supplementation is necessary.

i need plants to explain to me if there's actually a feasible vegan diet for children

cause:

her son ezra died in 2019 from complications caused by malnutrition

clearly this lady isnt gonna figure out

they gonna dog her and she should be put on the spot for malnutrition, but idk the full story

i can’t say i’m sure she just wanted best for her kids, but u gotta give someone the benefit of the doubt

if she wasn’t working with a doctor on this kind of diet she’s beyond reckless tho and deserves something

Vegan doesn’t mean you’re only supposed to eat fruits and vegetables Most of what I eat is grains, beans, and nuts

You don't need animal products to survive

This is just cause of a negligent mother and not veganism

B**** couldnt do 5 seconds of research

Article says the baby was born at home and it is believed he never saw a doctor

Your article even says that foods need to be fortified with them in order to be good enough, which is what I said. If your kids aren't eating fortified foods, they need to be taking a supplement.

the article i shared says the same thing as u:
eat fortified foods

one of them is nutritional yeast, (vegans love to put it in everything for cheesy flavors)

I really think this "vegan diet is poor" mentality stems from people not knowing what to eat and relying on meat products to get their fix

I never said a vegan diet is poor... but when you're dealing with a child it's much easier and safer to simply supplement potential deficiencies. Especially when you may not have the time to oversee every single meal they may have during the day.

And FYI, fortified foods ARE practically supplements. They're simply more available as they're processed into a food instead of into a tablet or pill.

Omnivore kids are eating fortified foods anyway and take multivitamins too, there’s hardly a difference
