But it's not like this child will be deprived of nutrients because she doesn't drink milk, there are other ways to go about getting those nutrients. Also, I guess I just don't see the logic in a parent (who feels strongly about being a vegan) raising their children on a diet that they don't themselves believe in. That's like asking a devout Catholic NOT to raise their children in the same religious setting in which they were raised, or even raising them a different religoin. Of course, when the child is older they will be able to decide for themselves what's best for them (being a catholic, being a vegan...whatever), but as for now, I don't see the problem with it.
