When you’re growing you have different nutritional needs in general, and it’s kind of hard to get some micronutrients from plants. I wouldn’t be surprised if those two things put together meant that vegan diets are problematic for children but not for adults. At any rate, even if a vegan diet is unhealthy for you, it’s a reasonable choice to make — I’ll sacrifice my health to do what I think is morally correct. Crucially, though, it’s a choice you have to make, and your parents shouldn’t be making for you. Once they grow up and are mature enough to decide for themselves, they can choose to go vegan. Overall I have some issues with veganism, but, if you’re going to do it, this is an approach I can agree with (compared to a family friend who feeds her cats vegan cat food, despite them being obligate carnivores)
