I've been thinking of following a vegan philosophy for moral reasons.
So, you abstain from eating animal products?
Yes, veganism is both abstaining from using animal products and holding the philosophy of rejecting using animals as a commodity.
That's good. Are there any health benefits that come from being a vegan?
Absolutely! It can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease.
Can kids become vegans?
They can, but the German Society for Nutrition does not suggest vegan diets for children or adolescents.
Oh ok, I guess Ill continue taking my son to McDonald's lol. Can't becoming a vegan lead to nutritional deficiencies?
If you're not careful it can, but just like with meat eaters, if your diet is well balanced you should have no worries eating purely vegan!
Ok, I'll keep that in mind. I'm really thinking about trying a vegan diet out.
