Perfect example on why vegan children are at risk for being malnourished: our doctors have no idea on what a balanced diet lacking animal products should look like!

In sharing stories, I have found that advice given to pregnant vegans are not given much (if any) guidance on how to supplement their diet, nor are vegan families given guidance on how children can get all of their nutrients going through the normal channels. OBGYNs and pediatricians know what children who DO consume animal products should be eating, and if they do not know what vegans should be consuming, they should find out.

It is my opinion that the "malnourishment of vegan children" (which I get alot - don't ask about the in-laws) is just a condition of our medical and health professions not having vegan health options readily available.
