Questions this hub answers

Is a vegan diet safe for children?
Major dietetic associations state that well-planned vegan diets are appropriate for all life stages including infancy and childhood, with attention to B12, vitamin D, iodine, iron, omega-3 and energy density.
How do you feed a household where not everyone is vegan?
Cook a plant-based base — grains, legumes, vegetables, sauce — and let anyone who wants to add something do it at the table rather than cooking two dinners.
