I do not understand why a discussion opens up about whether a child should have a 100% vegetable diet, but nobody criticizes the amount of refined sugars, processed foods and Mc Donalds junk food consumed by children today. We must find a way to give them a healthier diet, for this there are many vegan recipes that can be prepared for children whose difference you will not notice with those of animal origin: hamburgers of legumes or soybeans, cereal balls or vegetables, healthy banana cookies and oatmeal, vegetable creams, smoothies, among others.

Another of the mistakes that parents make is to say: she or he does not like that, I answer them but it is that she has tried it some time, the mother does not answer me, I know what my son likes, big mistake because you are already sending the message that the vegetables are not pleasant, when giving a vegan meal you should support it naturally, and that he or she also see you eating with pleasure the food you offer, they only hear the slightest negative comment from the food, immediately set aside the plate, and already recorded in his mind that this menu is not pleasant and reach adults thinking they do not like.
