plant-based parenting

our experience raising a plant-based kid has been very validating, global media is flooded with scary stories about fringe morons - certainly not your "garden variety" vegans - in order to portray a plant-based diet in a negative light when reality couldn't be further from the truth.

it's extremely gratifying seeing a long stream of photos of other people's kids in a vegan group, all big and healthy and alert, and reading online lots of personal stories about raising plant-based kids in comment threads, and knowing that so many people are getting it right in spite of the pressures exerted by well-meaning but uninformed friends, family, teachers, and even doctors.

it's natural to be afraid of the unknown, and it's natural to push back at anything that informs you that everything we've been force-fed for generations has been nonsense. this is just an attempt to share an idea that's been buried deep, that you probably won't see anytime soon in your social media feeds or on your television, but that's validated by decades of research and evidence and more and more personal stories every day.
