vegan kids
“We are taught from a young age to show compassion and love animals. Ironically, we are also taught that eating animals is normal and necessary.”
It is humankind's natural instinct to protect and show compassion towards other beings. Similarly to racism and sexism; speciesism is a taught behaviour. We are indoctrinated to believe that eating animals is morally acceptable.
We are taught from a young age to show compassion and love animals but ironically, we are also taught that eating animals is normal and necessary.
I have always considered myself to be an animal lover, I would do absolutely anything to protect them. My childhood revolved around watching national geographic films, spending a lot of time in nature observing wildlife, and all of my childhood books were educational books on the animal kingdom. I truly cared for animals.
But the disturbing thing is that I ate my friends on a daily basis. I was eating my friends that I so deeply cared about for 23 years of my life.
What kind of sick society do we live in, where we normalise eating animals and tell our animal loving children that it is okay to eat their friends chopped up bodies?
A majority of us consider ourselves to the animal lovers, yet daily we pay for the suffering, abuse, torture and murder of them when we consume their bodies and secretions.
You have a choice today, you can choose to be kind towards animals by living vegan, or you can choose to fund cruelty and cause animal suffering.

Raising vegan children can significantly increase their health as animal products are the leading cause of many common diseases.

Professionals have deemed plant based diets to be 'appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes'.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has sent a powerful message about the universal suitability of vegan diets and have debunked many misconceptions of plant based eating.
