[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you should keep in mind is that a small child should not be vegetarian. [/quote] My pediatrician disagrees, FYI. I’m not actually vegetarian but both my kids have spit out anything with meat in it since we tried our first purée. Pediatrician says their growth and bloodwork are perfectly fine and plant based diets are healthier anyway.[/quote] That’s exactly what my pediatrician said too. Particularly if your child eats whole, mostly plant based foods (not fake nuggets and mac and cheese), it’s hard to imagine a much healthier diet for anyone, kids included. I could argue for adding salmon for the omega 3s, but that’s easy enough to supplement. I think folks that make these claims assume all kids eat junky kid food or eat a ton of red meat themselves.[/quote]
