Is It Safe To Raise Children Vegan? With Dr Mark Craig
Show Notes

Plant based diets have been on the rise in recent years. However, we only hear about adults going vegan. We rarely hear about parents raising their child vegan.

There are lots of questions and concerns around raising your child vegan. Will he/she get all the nutrients needed to develop properly? Will he fall behind cognitively? These are all legitimate concerns.

In this episode, we speak with Dr.Mark Craig around nutrition and whether it's safe to raise your child vegan. We talk about the type of nutrition you should have for your kids, how to plan their diets, how to have that conversation with your kids and much more.
