Vegan diets can be perfectly healthy for all stages of life. There are many people growing up vegan these days, and very healthy for it. But it’s not anything new - in the Blue Zones where longevity is well above the average, people have been eating a vegan diet for centuries - without calling it vegan. They just didn’t have access to meat and dairy.

There is a ton of protein available in plant foods, and your son can get tons of calories from whole grains and legumes and fruits and vegetables and nuts (assuming he is not allergic).

There are tons of resources online to help. The Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine promotes a whole foods plant based diet, preferably eschewing animal products which are linked to diabetes because of the way saturated fats operate in the body. PCRM has a great podcast called The Exam Room which has great episodes with tons of information about healthy vegan nutrition. They promote real food over processed meat substitutes.

Look for books from Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr Neal Barnard to guide your son in following a healthy vegan lifestyle.

Absolutely he can grow and thrive as a vegan, and he will be doing great things not only for his own long term health and longevity but also for the health of the planet![/quote]

Athletes don't stay vegan for more than a couple years.  If you follow anyone long term, you would see that.  It just doesn't work.  [/quote]

Are you this dumb about all topics or just this one? [/quote]

I guess you don't follow any athletes.  That's okay but you shouldn't ignore those who do.[/quote]
