Is vegetarianism healthy for children? (2018)
- nwah1 7y agoA lot of this matches what I have read, although a lot of the nutrients are available from non-animal sources. You can find vegan supplements with taurine, creatine, carnitine, choline, B12, and most other "carninutrients." But, alas, almost no vegans seriously pursue this type of thing, and ensuring kids are given these substances would be even harder. Although, I personally would love if some organization took this cause seriously. I imagine the Soylent company could and should be doing this type of thing, but my understanding is that their current formulations do not include carninutrients. However, infant formulas are usually quite good on this. Especially the top end ones. They include taurine, carnitine, choline, and other stuff like nucleotides, lactoferrin, MFGM, and special prebiotics.
