your kid deserves a full plate
Food is fuel, not an ideology. Restricting your child’s diet for non-medical reasons (like vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free without a medical need) can actually do more harm than good. Kids need a wide variety of foods to grow strong, explore flavors, and build a healthy relationship with eating
