Can children be vegetarians? is that healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Many kids face social pressures if their dietary practices differ from their school acquaintances.That said, any kid raised in a household of vegetarians who have practiced the life successfully over many years will usually get a healthy balanced nutrition.I caution regular eaters who want to start a vegan lifestyle.It takes a lot of learning to do it right, and some newbie's don't and suffer
