Anche il dr Spock sostiene la dieta vegan per i bambini (anche se è inglese si capisce, o no? :-) )
Children who grow up getting their nutrition from plant foods rather than meats have a tremendous health advantage. They are less likely to develop weight problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some form of cancer. - Benjamin Spck, M.D., author of the highly acclaimed parenting guide Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care
How Do Vegan Kids Measure Up?

Physical Development
Vegetarian and nonvegetarian youngsters grow at a comparable rate, according to the American Dietetic Association.
Obesity
Vegan Kids: They eat no cholesterol and less fat, and vegan adolescents eat fewer sweets, fast foods, and salty snacks than nonvegan kids do.
Nonvegan Kids: Over 9 Million kids over age 6 are overweight. A 2005 study published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine found that the more cow's milk kids drink, the more likely they are to be overweight.
