BBC NEWS | Health | Children ‘harmed’ by vegan diets

Do what you want as an adult, but don’t impose your odd, unnatural behavior on your children. Makes sense to me.

Of course, I’m one of those who enjoys a good steak now and then, so my opinion is definitely biased.

Professor Allen said: “There have been sufficient studies clearly showing that when women avoid all animal foods, their babies are born small, they grow very slowly and they are developmentally retarded, possibly permanently.”

“If you’re talking about feeding young children, pregnant women and lactating women, I would go as far as to say it is unethical to withhold these foods [animal source foods] during that period of life.”

The vegans, naturally, http://www.european-vegetarian.org/evu/english/news/news962/omnivore.html disagree.
