[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I know this is maybe not fair, but I also worry that for some teens, the restrictive nature of veganism can be a component of (or lead to) disordered eating. To be clear, I'm not saying that is true for all or most vegans. Just that the restrictive nature of the diet has some parallels. [/quote] This is exactly what happened with my daughter. She used veganism as an acceptable way to restrict food. "I cant eat that, I'm vegan' We .made it through but it was not easy. She is still vegan but cooks for herself a lot. I make all veggies and starches vegan and she can add beans, tofu or any of the plant based meat products. Lots of pasta, focaccia, beans, soup, chili, salads, hummus, etc. It's tough but doable.[/quote]
