[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would encourage vegetarian over vegan.  Plenty of substitutes and don't forget things like tofu, chickpeas and other protein sources.[/quote]

What do you know that the medical doctors who are members of the PCRM don’t know?

Meat, fish, dairy and eggs are not required for optimal human health, at any stage of life.

If we're talking about an adolescent, not a child, and your point is that it's good for all ages, why are all your links about children?  That's about as relevant as if you posted links about the elderly?[/quote]

That's a stupid statement, poster.

Children at all stages require nutritious, high *healthy* calorie diets for optimal growth. The previous links I posted to athletes who follow a vegan diet are entirely applicable - there is no way that OP's teenaged son wouldn't thrive on the same diet that the Williams sisters have followed to fuel their record breaking tennis careers, nor that the many male athletes follow to fuel theirs. And if you'd bothered reading the links at any length, you'd have seen that many of the athletes GREW UP VEGAN, through ALL STAGES OF CHILDHOOD.

You are just anti-vegan, admit it. Or you are arrogant enough to presume you know better than nutritionists and medical doctors who do nutrition for a living. [/quote]

I am not anti vegan, but I am an athlete. It is really hard to get the protein and calories that you need from a vegan diet. It's hard! I know it's not impossible. In most of the blue zones, people eat meat. They don't eat as much meat as we do, but they do eat meat. Fish is another option for the protein. [/quote]
