[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder why there are nut jobs who insist eating a plant based diet is unhealthy…. Do you own dairy farms? Worship RFK jr? 
Anyway it’s bizarre. [/quote]

Because anyone who knows anything about nutrition, especially those of us who work professionally with patients on weight management, eating disorders and other diet associated conditions, knows how difficult it is to consistently (that’s every single day) get a fully nutritious diet by eschewing basically everything except plants. And for a child of this age, it is practically impossible.

I’ve seen it too many times. [/quote]

This thread and these arguments are really off base. It's not like because a child eats meat, she's automatically healthy. And, I'd venture that most pre-teens and teen are missing fiber and nutrients. Some people really have an axe to grind. I became a vegetarian at 11 because I didn't like meat, was my mother supposed to force me to eat it? In any case, we were neglected and didn't have access to real food, but somehow my siblings and I overcame the lack of childhood nutrition to become very healthy eaters as adults (and I can't eat anything meat aside from a bit of chicken or fish that is salmon or whiter).
