Question, especially to the parents on here. Is it ok to force a certain diet on your children such as being a vegan?

I came across this video and the comments are mainly flaming her for this.

Mushroom bacon >>>> swine

I guess it depends on why the parents have decided on a particular diet lifestyle choice.

Is it due to religious beliefs, adverse health complications/concerns, what's hot on social media these days (), etc

Need more info

I don't touch swine, but I don't prohibit my wife and kids from eating it

honestly there are kids being raised on worse diets. Most american kids are fed poison. Vegans might at least be organic.
Just need to make sure they get all their supplements because a veggies don't give us everything we need.

I grew up vegetarian because my parents were and it was fine I didnt even realize I was missing out on anything.

Sucks for that kid but that’s life; it could be worse, could be eating nothing but McDonalds.

Are you still a vegetarian?

 

[Majestyx]

anything you give your kids is "forcing"

Nah I'm not but I mainly only eat fish occasionally ill eat chicken or red meat. Those damn wing wednesdays in college got to me

This is fine. You teach your kids your belief system through thoughts and actions. When he is old enough he can decide if he wants to eat meat but for now my house, my money, my rules. The end.

Ok, last question. Are your parents still vegetarians?

Depends on the individual child
Best to see a nutritionist

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Veganism is a cheat code for people who can't cook even if their life depend on it.

 

[The Wolf Among You]

In the very beginning stages of their life, yes. Once they’re old enough to formulate their own opinions then I think they should have a choice.
But most people see their children as people they can project onto and control with an iron fist so that’s rarely if ever gonna happen.

 

[MischievousMonkey]

You can't raise a child without forcing a whole lot of things on him.

Allowing to eat everything and anything is just as much of a choice.

So as long as it doesn't cause the kids too much harm
