[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was vegan for the first 2 years of his life. He was allergic to dairy and eggs, and we are vegetarian, so no meat.

He did very well. He was breastfed (which mean vegan for me--how I missed my cheese!), and when he started solids, he was not picky at all. Avocado, beans, oatmeal. Calcium fortified foods. Everything covered in olive oil, and coconut milk as a drink--tons of fat in there. He did great.

By 2, the allergy to dairy passed, though he is still sensitive to eggs, so we added dairy in. But he was fine without it.

My point is children, babies especially, can be vegan and absolutely thrive, in spite of the strange straw man above trying to insist breastmilk isn't vegan. What is the point there, anyway?[/quote]
What did you do about vitamin B for your child?[/quote]

He ate lots of sweet potato baked fries, bananas, nutritional yeast on pasta. [b]I didn't worry about it that much[/b].[/quote]
I would. The handful of people I know who went vegan, all had to quit after a few months to a year because their health went downhill. [/quote]

OH MY GOD! Please just stop. I've been vegan for 9 years and vegetarian for almost 21. I am healthier than most people I know. I am fit and strong as are most vegans I know. [/quote]
