Are kids too Young To Be Vegan?

By Madelin Ramos 

I read an article last week about Veganism on CNN called “Are kids too young to understand Veganism?”. This article talked about how Ruby Roth wrote a book called “Vegan is Love”. This article made me think about Veganism in general, first off what is a vegan? A vegan is a person kinda like a vegetarian but they take it to the extreme. Vegans don’t eat, drink or wear anything that comes from an animal. There are about 1 million vegans in the United States (and it keeps growing). This article was asking if kids are too young to be vegan, are they? Well I went around asking people i know what they think about vegans and and Andrea H. said “I find vegans interesting/different, I don’t agree with people being vegan.”. Becky R said “Personally I don’t agree with the choice but it should be a child's choice if they want to be vegan the should have to be vegan just cause their family is.” I agree with both of them i don't agree with it but someone should not be forced to be vegan it should be their choice what they want. Some people say that when a child is vegan it makes them consider the harm to animals that are raised for consumption. And others say that making your kid go vegan is not good. Some kids just go vegan because they know that the diet helps you lose weight faster. Most people though do it because they are an animal lover and the want to make a difference. So going vegan should really be your own choice no matter if you are a child or an adult.
