A member asked:

Hi, was talking to my mother about how i can't just feed my son just veggies cause that would put him the hospital and she didn't believe me, is it true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Are you talking about giving your child a vegetarian diet? If so, with a good balance of proteins, whole grains, and calcium foods, this can be a healthy diet for a child. How old is your child? Is there a reason that he is not eating other foods?
