Kids and Vegan Diets: What to Know | The Exam Room

The idea that children cannot get every nutrient they need without cow’s milk is hogwash. That is what plant-based dietitians Alex Caspero and Whitney English discuss as they join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room. The founders of Plant-Based Juniors explain why children do not need meat and dairy in order to eat a healthy diet. But they didn’t always feel that way! Alex and Whitney candidly open up about their own initial fears of raising children on a vegan diet, but how they were able to overcome them by examining research showing the benefits of taking cheese and lunch meat off the menu. Plus, they share their list of must-have foods that every plant-based parent should have on hand! And they also have tips for getting kids excited about eating fruits and vegetables!
