Vegan Children

It’s barbecue season and people are pulling out the grills. But what’s a vegan to do when they don’t eat meat?

This week’s show is all about having a great vegan cookout. I share a few tips on grilling, organizing and creating some great vegan dishes for a barbecue that even carnivores will love. You don’t have to be afraid to throw some food on the grill because the Vegan Family Living podcast is here to help you grill it right.

We will be covering this subject this week and next so be sure to tune in.

One of the most difficult thing for most transitioning vegans is the question of “how do I feed my vegan child?” This brings to mind so many other questions and soon a parent can find themselves confused and trying to figure it all out.

I know well the issue because I was there. My oldest son was 10 when got married and I grew very weary of a vegan diet for a growing boy who was near his pre-teen years and would soon start developing into a man with hormones and all other sorts of stuff going on. He would need to be as healthy as possible when those Super growth years hit.

Sometimes it is a challenge for our children to be vegan in a non-vegan environment. Their friends may tease because they do not get the way your child eats. Or when your child goes over a friend’s house for a sleep over it may be difficult for another parent to understand the needs of your child.

These menus are just samples of what you can feed a vegan child and his non-vegans friends. Share these menus with non-vegan parents who may be responsible for feeding your child. Use them to feed your child’s non-vegan friends.

If we are going to talk about raising a vegan child, we should start at the beginning; with the infant. Babies have very specific nutritional needs, and vegans must be aware of these in order to help their children develop appropriately.

One thing I hear often from parents trying to change the eating habits of their children is “How do I get my child to eat healthy when they don’t like to?”

My answer…”It’s not that hard. You just need to re-adjust and go with the healthy flow.”
