Mine never had tantrums over diet . They

knew as they were growing up that we were a kind family which didn’t kill

and eat helpless animals which did not want to die .Kids understand this easily.

The problem is when they make mistakes eg take sweets from friends (gelatine or

cows milk chocolate ) But one should not go over the top but simply explain why

we don’t eat it (baby calf taken away from its mother and mother and calf

being really upset as the child would be if taken from its mum) facts.

Kids feel empathy but the facts must be explained to suit the childs

understanding throughout its growing up .They might get bullied by other kids-----

that is a greater concern. But that will just confirm that not only are animal

eaters cruel to farm animals they are also cruel to people ,and not worth

bothering about Vegan kids should not be wimps !!!!

Vegan kids

 

To any parents on the list:

 

Have your children ever had tantrums when you've

told them they can't

have some food that isn't vegan? Or do you not

need to tell them? I'm

curious about what it's like bringing up vegan

kids.

Dear Suha,

Thanks for your feedback. Re. children growing up around carnivores, my kids

are too young for me to judge whether this will be a problem, although I

suspect it won't be. I know of two vegetarian children (boy & girl) who went

veg young or who were raised that way. They haven't had any problems being

vegetarian. In the girl's case, she went vegetarian when she was 3 after

watching the movie 'Babe' (no wonder the Irish banned it to protect their

pork producers!), and all her family eats meat. She is now about 13, and the

last I heard of her she is still proudly an ethical vegetarian. Her family

accepts this and ensures she is catered for, whether at home or, for

example, on school camp.

 

Recently my daughter Alex was invited to her first McDonald's birthday party

(shock, horror!). Luckily, recently in Australia McDonald's introduced a

vegeburger supplied by health food company Sanitarium (a vegetarian Seventh

Day Adventist organisation, similar to Loma Linda in the States). Alex had

some vegeburger and chips (fries) (cooked in veg oil), and the McDonald's

biscuits (cookies) were vegan (Aussies have a nasty habit of adding beef fat

to most of their bikkies!). Alex enjoyed herself, and there were no

problems. As much as I am not a fan of McDonald's and their ilk, I think

it's fantastic they now see a market for veg foods and provide an

alternative for kids and others. It is certainly a lot easier in Australia

(although much better in the US and UK!) to be vegetarian/vegan than when I

went veg 23 years (vegan 22 years) ago.

 

I think as long as you don't make a big deal out of what your child eats,

and provide them with culturally acceptable alternatives such as veggie

burgers, pizza, hot dogs etc I don't think other kids will make an issue out

of it. I can imagine Daniel or Alex in the future as teens going to 'Maccas'

or Hungry Jacks (like Burger King, who also now have a veggie burger in Aus)

with their mates and simply ordering their own type of burger (or whatever

the rubbish is!) and it not even being noticed. It is true that some kids

(and adults) may make an issue out of their diet, but as long as children

understand the reasons for their lifestyle and are comfortable with that,

they should be fine.

 

It is more problematic if one parent is vegan and the other vegetarian (or

meat eater even). I think it's easier if the main care-giver (usually the

woman) is the vegan one, as she is most likely to be well informed about

child rearing and proper nutrition, and be in a postition to provide sound

vegan meals. As with people who have religious differences, this needs to be

negotiated. If you're vegan and your child isn't always fed 100% vegan,

don't beat yourself up about it too much. If you have a good relationship

with your child(ren) and explain the reasons to them for your

diet/lifestyle, chances are they will be influenced by you, even if it is

somewhere down the track.

 

If either of my kids don't continue being vegan, or even vegetarian,

naturally I will be disappointed. Bottom line is though, it is their choice.

I was raised a strict Catholic (went to mass every Sunday, was an altar boy

etc) and ate (and enjoyed) meat, but am now a vegan atheist (atheist since

16, vegan since 18 yrs). However, I was given no choice in my religious

upbringing, and was certainly never encouraged to question it (nuns are not,

in my experience, the most free-thinking of people!). I (and my wife) will

always explain (appropriately) to our children why we are vegan, and try to

answer any questions they may have. Even if you believe in God, surely we

were given a brain to think for ourselves, and education is the key. Most

kids are never told where their animal foods comes from, until, maybe, it is

too late and they already are 'hooked' on it. Such is the level of

misinformation that even well educated adults have been amazed -and a little

incredulous- when I've told them some unpalatable truths, like that dairy

cows are artificially inseminated regularly to keep getting pregnant in

order to lactate, have their babies snatched from them at a very young age

for veal or more dairy production, and are eventually killed for meat when

their milk yield drops.

 

I believe that if most kids were told the truth (not the whole, gory truth

mind you!) from a young age, they wouldn't want to kill and eat animals.

Alex already understands that animals have to be killed to eat them, and she

is even more strict with her veganism than her parents are! Education,

providing a good example (including good food!), and encouraging personal

choice is the best way to go to inspire your children (or anyone) to eat no,

or at least less, animal products. If you do these things, it is very

unlikely your offspring will grow up to be hunters or butchers!

Dear Tom,

 

Thank you SO much for your input. I have one small comment. When I was a kid, I

forgot how old exactly I was, I witnessed a sheep getting slaughtered. It was

the Muslims celebration of Eid Al Adha and by the way, this Eid is comming soon

:(, but anyway, ever since I saw that sad scene, I could not eat red meat

anymore. No matter how well cooked the meat was, I would still taste it as raw

and felt like i wanted to spew. Although that was a gory scence, but it sadly

woke up some feelings of compasion inside of me towards that animal. So, i

would not mind, as a parant, exposing my kid to the abuse and violence animals

endear so their dead body would end up on someone's plate.

 

BTW, I'm sure you will like this 15 minutes speech by Jefferey Masson, the

author of the pig who sang to the moon, the emotions of farm animals. Have a

good day and thanx again for your input, Suha.

Hi Suha,

I too, witnessed a sheep have its throat slit when I visited a sheep farm as

a young boy. Interestingly, myself and my older brothers were encouraged to

go and have a look, something I suspect wouldn't have happened if we were

girls - boys are meant to get used to killing animals in the country from a

young age. We also went 'spotlighting' -hunting at night- for rabbits with

this particular farmer, who enjoyed blowing away the odd bunny.

 

I imagine that if young children today were exposed to such 'entertainments'

it would be seen as child abuse by most city dwellers, but in the country

people are much more matter-of-fact about killing, particularly as their

livelihood often depends on their ability to do so. I told you how we used

to chop our chooks' (chickens') heads off and watch in horrifed fascination

as their bloody headless carcases flopped around the back yard. To quote the

last words of our most famous bushranger (outlaw) Ned Kelly, " such is

life " ...and death, for that matter. I didn't turn vegetarian after

witnessing such sights, as such a thing did not exist as far as we knew (I

have two other vegan brothers), living in a small country town. Mind you, I

probably would have been lynched by the local rednecks if I did dare to do

such a thing, but luckily it never occurred to me back then!

 

Thanks for the link,
