#Physical Development. Vegetarian and nonvegetarian youngsters grow at a comparable rate according to the American Dietetic Association.
#Obesity: Vegan Kids: They eat no cholesterol and less fat, and vegan adolescents eat fewer sweets, fast foods, and salty snacks than nonvegan kids do. Nonvegan Kids: Over 9 Million kids in the USA over age 6 are overweight.
