When as a parent someone decide to offer only vegetarian diet, or God forbid Vegan, than actually person should be prosecuted for child cruelty.
When a child is growing up , the body needs all kind of minerals vitamins, and everything else which you can only find in beef, pork, poultry, fish and or course dairy.
Did vegetarian crowed ever noticed that most vegetarians are fat, slow, and lazy.
No offense.
Just observation. 99.9% of Nobel prize winner are meat eaters, and they also enjoy milk and cheese, and lots of veggies and fruit.
Yes anyone can starve his or hers body for long time , same time the price they will pay in lost health and weekend immune system is horrific high.
Of course everything have to be in right proportion and properly served.
If you want to stay away from prescription drugs, live healthy life you need to curb your appetite and feed your body as it was fed over 100.000 years.
Obese means die early , vegetarian means pretty much the same. just check statistics.
