I know many people who have been vegan or vegetarian their whole lives. There are so many books on the subject, but just look to somewhere such as India, where millions upon millions of people are born and raised vegan or vegetarian - it has been very normal there for thousands of years. It's their traditional diet (vegan, that is -- dairy consumption has only started in recent history in India). There's a good book you should read, along with other books about breastfeeding, vegetarian/vegan children babies, and it's called "Macrobiotic Pregnancy and Care of the Newborn" by Michio Kushi. No, you don't have to be macrobiotic (that just basically means eating locally grown seasonal foods) to read it, because it is full of great information about pre-pregnancy, pre-birth, birthing, post-birth, etc. and it's almost all vegetarian too. See, foods you eat before, during, and after will affect your child. It's really important information I think and recommend it to everyone as a basic book to read before having a child. Other good books are written by Dr Michael Klaper... well, there are so many, just google it. Ask away if you have any more Qs... I'm an old pro at this now.<br><b>References : </b><br> > Will it be safe to raise my child vegetarian?

I'd never give my kids milk, even if I wasn't vegan. There's no need for it. No mammal on the planet consumes milk after they are done feeding on mother's milk. Only humans do, and they take the milk from other animals — very unnatural.

Sun, 17 May 2009 11:20:59 +0000 http://www.vegetarianrecipesecrets.com/vegetarian-lifestyle/is-a-vegetarian-diet-safe-for-my-child#comment-265 I believe that everyone should be entitled to a diet that they want to follow, even children. Obviously children are too young to understand what it means to be a vegetarian, but when they grow older I think it is their decision as to whether they want to eat meat or not. Being a vegetarian can definitely be healthy if done correctly so if you want to raise your child vegetarian, just make sure they are getting all the vitamins and nutrients they need.<br><b>References : </b><br> I believe that everyone should be entitled to a diet that they want to follow, even children.

However, be prepared that once they grow up they may change their beliefs - I had a friend who was raised vegan but who would have meat for lunch every day in school because she loved it but was afraid to tell her mom. Many people are brought up healthy and happy on a vegetarian diet so I wish you the best of luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes it is healthy as long as they are getting plenty of protein from sources other than meat - I would keep them on whole milk as long as possible just so they are getting plenty of calcium to help them grow.
