Are Vegans Forcing Their Beliefs On Their Children?

[Jeff]

Are people eating animals forcing their beliefs on Children? So many questions. As a parent you don’t give your child something you believe is going to increase their risk for chronic disease and all cause mortality. And even if that wasn’t the case, if it just “Healthy and Appropriate” but not necessarily better we still don’t want to make them do something that most likely goes against their predilection to not hurt animals.

Healthy children do not want to hurt animals. If given the choice they would likely choose not to eat animals as well. Desensitizing and habituating them to the consumption of animals and secretions does not afford them the opportunity of choice. When they leave home they may choose to do whatever they want. As long as they are at home it is the parent’s responsibility to normalize the healthiest habits possible.

This reminds me of when people say it is a personal choice to consume animals. My response to that is typically people aren’t even choosing to do this, they’re just doing what they were taught without giving it much thought or consideration. Furthermore, they are not educated on the ramifications of their actions to properly make an educated or even cognizant decision based on enough details and facts.

Another response to this is it’s not a personal choice when there’s a victim involved. And when people eat animals there are many victims in every direction. The Slaughterhouse worker is a victim, the animals are victims, the communities impacted by Toxic anaerobic lagoons from concentrated animal feeding operations, wildlife as animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, deforestation, aquatic dead zones, desertification, and then of course the deadly impact that antibiotic resistant bacteria, dangerous pathogens and diseases that kill millions of people.

So in the end if you’re feeding your children animals and secretions then you’re forcing Very violent and destructive beliefs on your child and conditioning them to continue this instead of giving them a chance to make a decision later in life when they are mature enough to consider all of these important variables .
