I got told today I shouldn't raise kids because I'd purposefully raise them in a vegan household, without animal products of any sort. I was told this would be dangerous and unfair to the kids.

It was a weirdly direct thing for this person to say to me (one of my coworkers). It's stuck in my head. I was told I should let my potential children choose what sort of morals they have, even though this person is raising their kids Catholic. Their advice to me was to allow my potential kids to choose every night between a meat-based meal and a vegan meal (???). And several other coworkers agreed. Where do they come up with this? No carnist raises their kids like this.

So is anyone raising vegan kids or does anyone know about what it's like? Or was anyone here raised in a vegan household?

but it would be difficult to navigate accusations like that.

Go for broke, start telling their kids whenever they eat meat an animal is killed for that

I live in an area where by the time a kid is 8 years old, they've probably already shot and eaten an animal at least once. So I don't know how well that would work.

Killing an animal with one's bare hands is considered a normal aspect of life here
