As the popularity of alternative-lifestyle choice ‘veganism’ increases across Europe, officials in Switzerland have expressed concerns about the health implications for children who have the unusual diet forced on them by “idealistic” parents.
In the statement, Swiss officials said: “Vegan food is not recommended for young children. It can cause serious harm”. The lack of vitamin B12, which is seriously deficient in Vegan diets is the main cause of the interjection by federal health officials, who have warned denying children access to animal-derived food at an early age can cause health problems.

>> The lack of vitamin B12, which is seriously deficient in Vegan diets
Likely completely absent. Hello peripheral neuropathy.
Not only did G_d give us vegetables to eat, he also gave us meat. Argue with G_d’s dietary freedoms and gifts and you might suffer.
Does a supplement of Swiss cheese help?
It causes decreased IQ. This effect is not reversible.
(Study published in Env. Health Perspectives several years ago, I do not have the reference.)
Also, women who follow low-protein vegan or vegetarian diets during pregnancy risk affecting brain development of their children.
We’re omnivores, not herbivores.
This spelling of God that way is one of the sillier superstitions I have come across (and yes, fully acknowledging the rabbinical origins from a scripture text taken in isolation).
The meaning of that passage is to spread the fame of God all over the place, but let pagan gods be forgotten.
So science says the young may not be able to survive the unnatural diet of vegans.
Poultry, fish, veggies and fruit. And we try to keep some kosher.
It’s worked well for a long time now.
Colossians 2:16 - Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath [days].
The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.”
“Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.”
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.”
7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. Genesis 18:1-8.
If lamb was good enough for a theophany by God (actually Christ before his incarnation) then it is good enough for me. Amen.
Be subversive. We fix pot roast, stew, and chicken curry all of which prove too tempting for our daughter and her family. It works but we’re cooking too much for them (much to my SIL’s delight).
Sorry I have upset your sensibilities but I do that in deference to my ancestral background. If it offends you, I will not apologize and will continue to express my reference to G_d as such.
Just ignore it and move on.
I am trying to clear up what is actually an obstacle to knowing God. You offend the faith of many. That is why I correct.
Yeast has vitamin b12
So, should vegans drink some beer?
Why would a dash offend anybody? And a dash would prevent anybody from knowing G_d? Please, go away troll, I ain’t interested.
I don’t know much about Vegans and don’t really care one way or another. However, I know one female vegan and you describe what happened to her perfectly. She’s pretty messed up physically because of her veganism.
I know several vegans. They insist they are healthier than omnivores, however they are constantly taking various medications “to stay healthy.” Uh, I thought the vegan diet was supposed to do that.
and that’s why cows are stupid and never evolved an intellect like us because they only eat grass.
All that mother needed to do was take a (vegan) B12 supplement.
I've been a vegan since I signed up at FR.
Liberals would see a correlation there.
