Is a vegan diet safe for babies and children?
Yes, check out Dr. Atwood’s Lowfat Perscription for Kids. Babies should be breast fed ideally until 2 years of age. Beyond that, grains, legumes, fruits, and veggies should be the staples of their diet. I would love to become vegan but I think it would be too hard because I go to a lot of parties and gatherings where there a very few vegan options. Take a salad or yummy dish to share, that way you always have something to eat. Believe me, people really don’t care all that much about what you are, or are not eating. I know it seems like a big deal at first, but after awhile, it becomes normal. And who knows, maybe people will notice what you are eating or not eating and want to know more about healthful eating.
