"Position of the American Dietetic Association: Vegetarian Diets"
It is the position of the American Di-
etetic Association that appropriately
planned vegetarian diets, including
total vegetarian or vegan diets, are
healthful, nutritionally adequate, and
may provide health benefits in the
prevention and treatment of certain
diseases. Well-planned vegetarian di-
ets are appropriate for individuals
during all stages of the life cycle, in-
cluding pregnancy, lactation, infancy,
childhood, and adolescence, and for
athletes. A vegetarian diet is defined
as one that does not include meat (in-
cluding fowl) or seafood, or products
containing those foods
Please note that vegetarianism and veganism has been officially approved for ALL STAGES OF LIFE, including infancy, pregnancy, and lactation. Vegan babies, here we come!
