    • I Went Vegan For 6 Months And Saved $590.77 April 15, 2021
      One of the major barriers preventing people from going vegan is that it’s seen as an expensive lifestyle, and it certainly doesn’t help that most fast-food chains and beauty retailers don’t always have a vegan alternative. But is following a vegan lifestyle really more expensive? I went vegan for six months and here’s everything I […]

Jippse says:

I am meat eater no vegan food and sometimes fruit barely cause vegan diet is quite bad only a good protest

The Baby says:

Most of these people complaining probably haven’t even breastfed their child which is more important than any food

Aria willows says:

Raising a child vegan is denying them their rights over a healthy diet. They need animal nutrient for proper growth or otherwise may grow stunted

Ahmad Maulana says:

Vegans : VETS ARE ANIMAL ABUSE, PETS ARE CRUEL
Me : doctors are child abuse, having a child is sexual abuse

peace free says:

scientifically nothing wrong with it at all but do you have to tech him in this age ?

Mangla Fazze says:

What do vegans feed new born babies?….. Mom's milk or cows milk powder? Can't feed babies soy milk

Vegan Cactus says:

Vegan kids are the future 🙌🤩

Shaun Cougar says:

That poor kid will never have a normal childhood.

Stefan Langenhoven says:

There are worse things to get teased over

Brianna Sanchez says:

Already this is gender normative guys stop being so stuck with toxic masculinity like men can cook, men can clean, men can assist their wife when needed. like I hated everything he said in the first 30 secs like men can do anything and so can women and it’s not a woman’s job to take care of the child all on her own in the household. It “takes TWO wings to make a birds wings fly or else it dies “ take this as my opinion but I think he needs to fix his perspective on family life

Aljaž says:

dont do it be vegan yourself but your child needs those proteins and vitamins for growing and development.

animesquadgp says:

it's wrong to force your kids to only eat veggies

Vegan V says:

Cockroach is shrimp 🦐. It’s the same family !!! 🤮🤮🤮. There is poop in your shrimp 🍤💩👄

Nisse says:

Vegan parents should be locked up if they force their children vegan

w1 Cecilia says:

I was raised up as a vegan since a 0 year old baby .

It is very difficult for me to eat any meat / fish .

The trick lies in the smell.

Because if you go vegan for more than 1 year, you can smell the difference between plants & animal food.

Animal food smells very bad, you will not accept it.

Strifuhn says:

Parents raising their babies on a vegan only diet deserve to be slapped so hard their skulls crack the earth, maybe that would rattle some braincells into action.

Nokuthula Ndlovu says:

Kicked all dairy products & meat out of my house and my kids stopped getting sick, it's been 3 seasons now. Gosh! We've struggled a lot with colds, flu & fevers😪. So, I got really tired and started to research. I'm so glad we went WFPB, their bowel movements are more gentle & regular now and not brutal anymore(Apologies for TMI) They're more energetic & school performance is impressive. We do plant-based burgers, sausages & pizza from time to time and they love them. The other thing that shocked me, was the fact that they were restless and not attentive at school prior to our new lifestyle and we were told to have them checked for ADHD. When we got there, the Dr. said they had the signs and we had to start treatment once they were old enough. We changed their fuel and all of that nonsense disappeared. I'm sharing this in case it helps another family in need out there. God bless🙂

Cuciuc Alexandra says:

The kid should say if they want or not,if they don’t ,DON’T FUCKING FORCE THEM,BITCH

zheeceelife says:

Do vegan kids needs polio vaccine? Thanks to reponse

Jacobie Bell says:

She needs to homeschool her kids… like I do mine

Chela says:

I wish this would have spoken more about the nutrition of the diet she’s giving her son and what she gives him on a daily, not so much about the peer or social pressure. Still good advice.

Realism says:

You’re a fucking imbecile who’s feeding your child an experimental diet which is completely contrary to how humans are supposed to eat. You have to take supplements to not get a deficiency. If you don’t understand that that fact alone shows you that this is completely unnatural you are a fucking idiot

Shaniafan1 says:

So much arrogance in the comments. People only focus on the few bad parents in the news. What about the 1000s if vegan parents out there who do it right? Stop shaming vegans because you don’t understand how to get protein and iron from plants and nuts etc……

Shaniafan1 says:

There’s a vegan alternative for everything xo

Interesant says:

PCRM, could you make a full nutritional guide for children? If a mother wants to go vegan and know how to feed her child. Could you tell her exactely how to do it? I mean a daily meal plan. Would be very benefitial.

MistMonkey says:

You should not rais a vegan child period.

Snipes Vr says:

I eat meat anyways because it gives me iron I need iron

Marie Savannah says:

Praise God for the internet well said if we love our kids and want to protect them from all kind of disease or dhd that the way to go I raise My kids on a vegan diet they were the most healthy kids God made us he knows what is best for us if we want to follow the world diet be prepare to pay the price

MrStrongBro says:

We’re Raising my daughter whole food plant based, but our problem is she is a very picky eater! Some days she’ll like one thing, others she’ll hate it and fuss. I feel like we’re starving her because she won’t hardly eat what we put on her plate, and idk how to get her craving these types of foods.
