How fast and how well kids grow is contingent upon their nutritional health. Nutrient deficiencies can slow growth while adequate food intake can assure that kids grow to their full genetic potential. The vegan diet can run short of these vitamins and minerals for a couple of reasons. These two concerns combined with increased growth needs make putting together a healthful vegan diet seem tricky. The trick, however, is actually a ticket to a wonderful culinary adventure.
